My Review 

The graphics are so beautiful, I'm falling in love with its visual, truly. I heard it's a movie too and it's the best hit movie in Japan. Well, I have yet to watch it but I'm already swayed by the melancholic and beautiful storyline by Makoto Shinkai. The translation done very well too. I can read and digest the dialogues with ease since the words aren't packed at all. After reading this, I definitely am looking forward to watching the movie as well as his other work. Highly recommendable! If you love magical realism manga(s) then you'll love this. 

Thankyou Netgalley and Vertical Comics for granting me the e-arc of Weathering With You in return for an honest review.
