5 Centimeters per Second (Collector's Edition)

Edition excerpt from 5 Centimeters per Second (Collector's Edition) (2023): ONE MORE TIME… Ever had trouble letting go of your love? A stunning official comics adaptation that manages to add new layers of emotion and intimacy to one of director Makoto Shinkai’s ( Your Name, Weathering with You, Suzume ) defining works—finally available in gorgeous hardcover! “[W]hat this version has over the film—more depth. The format just allows for it, and Shinkai and Seike take advantage of that… So, if you’re a fan of the film, there are plenty of reasons to pick this version up. If you’ve never seen the film, I highly recommend it.” — ComicAttack “Yukiko Seike’s adaptation acquits itself on all points. More than acquits itself, actually. Because as good as Shinkai’s 5 Centimeters is (and it is good), Seike’s 5 Centimeters is better… Roundly satisfying.” — Good Ok Bad “History does not tend to smile on manga adaptations of anime properties… It is nothing short of a miracle that 5 Centimeters per Second is one of the best Japanese comics I have ever read … Seike’s take on the story is more human—a stunning feat considering the strong emotional punch of Shinkai’s original film.” — Ani-Gamers “There are a number of things I expect from a romance manga, occasionally even things that change who I think I am. But I was genuinely shocked to find something in 5 Centimeters per Second that no other romance anime or manga has ever had. Good relationship advice.” — The Anime Harvest
