I was expecting something soft and cute but instead i got my eyes bawled out. This manga is so touching just so.. idk i almost cried but i had to keep my tears in check cuz i was reading it while sitting with people and we don't want to show vulnerability.

a masterpiece but to what cost?!
REVIEW FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES
I went into this thinking it’d be a light story about soulmates reuniting in another life or something sweet like that but wow, it hit way deeper than I expected. What starts as a soft, charming love story between childhood friends quickly unfolds into something heavier, full of grief, war, loss, and the emotional scars that follow. But it still manages to keep its heart, gentle and hopeful, even through the pain.
This is really a story about survival. Not just surviving war, but surviving guilt, broken dreams, physical and emotional wounds. It handles things like survivor’s guilt, body image after injury and learning how to let yourself feel joy again after devastation, all in a way that’s quietly powerful without losing its warmth. There’s a lot of beauty in how it shifts between their sweet domestic life and the harsher parts of their past. You feel how much they’ve gone through and how hard they’ve worked to protect the world they’ve built together.
I also loved how the women were written. Not just the FL, but a lot of the female characters!! They are strong, kind and grounded in a way that balances out the sadness around them. And don’t get me started on the older brother... his presence through letters? Absolutely gutting.
Honestly, this left me with that aching kind of peace. The ending isn’t tragic (because we all die), but it lingers. It’s the kind of story that doesn’t just tell you about undying love, it makes you believe in it, even with all the cracks and pain. Make sure to bring tissues.

This review is for the entire story.
What kind of story do you like? I like a story that doesn't only focus on the Female Lead and the Male Lead of the story. I love a story that also shows the life of people around them. Because, no matter how much they love each other, they can't live just on their own. And this story is just like that.
The main theme is about a couple that were born in the Showa era, maybe around 10-15 years before World War II. And although living is always hard no matter what periods we are, life around the time of the war is harder. The story didn't revolve in the war, as it also shows how their lives were before and after it. And what made it harder is because you can really feel the gaps between before, at war, and after war and it was really hurt because too many emotions were shown.
The war period reminds me of my Showa history class that I took in university. What I remember from that class is how Japan didn't really have to join the war. But the ambitions and greeds of people in power made them not only join, but also instigated wars in Asia and colonized a lot of part of Asia. There were times when I hate to read or watch war themed comics, anime, or film and drama that showed how war were from the Japanese perspective. Because they victimizes themselves in most of the story. But now, I can see it from different perspectives. And it's true that the civilians were also victims of those greeds and ambitions. It's also very hard to see how the young men, that were just normal people before, were taught to die and not to survive the meaningless war. And they were forced to feel proud of it.
There are a lot of tear jerker chapters in this story. Prepare your tissues, handkerchiefs (yes, one wouldn't be enough to wipe all your tears), or towels at hand reach. And don't forget to read it when there are no people around, so you can cry as much and as hard as you need 💔

It's kind of a cool manga about an elder couple showing us bits and pieces of their childhoods and married life together. It's too short to get attached, but consistent enough to make sense altogether. It just wasn't interesting.

sei la, foi ok?
eu não tinha a intenção de continuar lendo mas o finalzinho me deixou com um leve gostinho de querer saber se certas coisas acontecem ou não

I was expecting something cute I didn’t expect to be bawling my eyes out

I rarely remember to update my Goodreads with manga I've read but then again, it's been a while since I've read any manga at all. I'm so glad that I came back to it with this particular one. Lots of people told me they cried while reading it and I'm ngl, after the first few chapters, I really thought they were exaggerating everything.
They absolutely were not. By the last chapter, I had countless wet tissues next to me.
I think the biggest reason this manga makes people cry is because of how much love there is in it, and it's so easy to be taken away. Set during ww2 too, so you know it's devastating. Young boys being drafted left and right as meaningless war sacrifices.
It was heartbreaking at some parts but so, so worth it to read.

This was an amazing read. Everything about it was great and emotional. The relationship between the 2 (Tora and Karou) was so cute and adorable and like goals x10. Which isnt good for a hopeless romantic lol :/ ahem. Anyway, it was very tear jerking. Not counting allergies my nose and eyes are very dry from wiping them sm lmao. The story was great. There we’re alot of characters for only 22 chapters and could get mixed up easily but thats all id say. All the characters were well written and deep. I just read this all tn. I saw someone talk about it on tiktok and it looked interesting so I read it and i was mot disappointed! Id definitely recommend it!

Oh this story is going to break my heart into pieces and I’m going to welcome every bit of it…
I adored seeing the beginnings of Toranosuke and Kaoru’s love story, as told through various flashbacks. Their dynamic together before their official marriage and up into their elderly lives (so in the “present” time) seems like an extremely heartwarming love story. Their dynamic with the individuals from their past was also lovely to see, and their close friendship with the unique character: Subaru is just as lovely as their marriage. I adore how much Subaru cares for his dear friends and am eager to read the rest of this short manga series.

review for the whole series: i cried in every chapter 😭😭😭😭 this was a great story about love and family which ofc i will always eat up!!! the jokes are hilarious and there are some hefty emotional gut punchers (both heartbreaking and happy!) that will leave you reeling. there was one couple that i was uncomfortable with due to age gap, but overall a solid story.
tw for abuse in the first few chapters of the series and war in the latter few.

Will You Marry Me Again If You Are Reborn
Bộ này quá nổi tiếng, không cần nói nhiều. Đọc lại ở tuổi này, mình không còn quá thích cặp nhân vật chính. Họ quá hoàn hảo, thứ vốn dĩ không có trên đời, khó mà đồng cảm. Thay vào đó những nhân vật phụ mang cho mình nhiều cảm xúc hơn. Mọi người đều có những khiếm khuyết riêng, điều quan trọng nhất trong tình yêu là chấp nhận rằng mình có thể là mảnh ghép còn thiếu ấy.
Giai đoạn chiến tranh ấy thật sự quá ám ảnh....

An adorable, ageless love story about a super-strong servant girl and a rich but goofy boy. The premise of the manga is the older couple is reminiscing on their long, happy marriage. In addition, this story actually managed to make a likable playboy character. So far, all of the characters have been great. I find Kaoru and Tora's love to be so touching.

Usually I post my manga reviews on anime-planet but this was so good that I want a reminder here too. Read this after watching the finale to Fruits Basket (2021) and the holding hands scene was a perfect parallel to this manga.
The premise is an old couple reminiscing about their journey. I couldnt stop crying.

My number 1 manga. Highly recommended. I dont usually go back and re-read novels or manga, but I go back to this one whenever I need a good cry.
The author did an amazing job of making every chapter heartfelt--whether that be with romance, loss or the bitterness that comes with life and war.
At times I was smiling, other times I was crying. Please read it.

It tricked me into thinking it was a cute short story to pass time. Well.. let's just say it wasn't exactly that.
