The Garden of Words

The Garden of Words manga has a heartfelt and beautifully written story with stunning artwork that perfectly complements the narrative. However, the price feels a bit high for what it offers. If you're a fan of emotional stories and great visuals, it's worth considering, but be prepared for the premium cost.

I saw this anime way back in 2013, at the suggestion of someone I was crushing on deeply. She went away, this stayed, and the world of Makoto Shinkai opened up to me. I have never looked back since.

I ordered this manga because i loved the movie but the manga i received was damaged

I really appreciate the paper quality, it was like a thin canvas paper.

Of course nothing compares to the actual movie ! The garden of word is a 45 minute anime romantic movie by Makoto Shinkai. It's breath taking -ly beautiful and heart breaking -ly emotional. I advise you to watch it, before you dwelve into this. In 1080p please. Coming to the manga, first three pages are in colour rest book is sketching, like most Mangas are. But the art quality is top class. Provides a little bit more detail to the script but not more. That being said, I bought this only for my collection and not as token prize. I wish manga were not so expensive in India.

After watching its movie many times i finally purchased the manga !! Its absolutely beautiful , i have already read it twice! I loved it . I liked anime more BUT the manga is also very good and i loved the ending of manga more (which makes the story more clear) . And i always love supporting the artist! 💖

I would say it is good and emotional and if you want to read a manga, This is a very good option but it is kind of expensive according to the product, when I brought it was 799, So when you're reading this review maybe it will high or low. I think 499 rupees will be enough. Thanks for reading.

This manga is good to read and there is no problem . The problem lies with the Seller , when you sell book , especially manga , you have to cover the book with care and don't send used or damaged books . That is an insult to all the manga readers out there . So next time make sure to deliver the book with no damage

Muito boa a edição.

Beautifully written book with great illustrations.

The Garden of Words is justifiably famous as one of the brilliant works of creator Makoto Shinkai, neither a movie, an OVA, or a TV episode, but rather, at only 46 minutes long, something extraordinary, a video short story: a couple of misfits, divided by age, are nevertheless drawn together by circumstances and weather until they are driven apart but with hope for the future. Takao Akizuki is a 15-year-old high schooler, planning to become a cobbler, whose maturity so towers over his eleven years older brother and his divorced mother dating younger men that other high school kids barely even register with him, Yukari Yukino is a 27-year-old so bullied by the world around her that she has all but ceased to function, but following a chance meeting in a park during the rain, they find themselves drawn to each other. What follows is a rainy season's worth of casual meetings, culminating in a crisis. Shortly after finishing the film, Mr. Shinkai wrote this manga version of The Garden of Words , illustrated by Midori Motohashi, and while it is mostly the same, I could not help but notice that everywhere it is different, it is better than the film. The thought balloons, the less accusatory rant by Takao, and most especially the extra scene at the end, which has Yukari WEARING the shoes, all improve the story IMHO, and given Mr. Shinkai's participation in both, that is rather telling. Then, around three years later, Mr. Shinkai wrote this novel version of The Garden of Words , and once again, I think he improves the story, this time with a lot more detail (some downright surprising) into the several major characters and a logical, plausible final chapter ten and epilogue that brings the two main characters together some four and a half years later, seemingly finally, Finally, FINALLY ready to defy the odds and try for happiness together.

Pretty short (about an hour) read. But if you're a fan definitely worth it! Nice artwork and it's like a mini movie

Watched the movie this year and fell in love with the art, story, soundtrack and characters. I'm glad they made a manga version of it ; now I can read it wherever I go, whenever I want :3
