Back before such an awfully high percentage of Manga offerings were so social-agenda, woke-gender pandering that it became tantamount to a scavenger hunt to find really good decent stories, it was easier to find wonderful and memorable ones, like The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. It too was turned into an excellent anime, one worthy of Ghibli. If you haven’t seen it, I suggest you do.
For those who have seen the endearing film, reading the manga is nostalgic and bittersweet. Makoto Kona is a high school girl who is always running late, even to class. She’s a bit of a tomboy, always playing catch with her two male friends, Chiaki Mamiya and Kousuke Tsuda. But that’s all they are — friends.
One day she enters the lab, because she heard someone in there when there wasn’t supposed to be. She finds no one, but in typical fashion for her — manages to topple to the floor and make a mess. Then she wakes up. Was it all a dream? What about that walnut-looking thing she found?
Next thing you know — because as usual, Makoto is running late — a bike ride down the steep hill in the city becomes a tragedy. The tragedy takes the form of a train and a railroad crossing, and a bicycle with bad brakes. In that instant, Makoto’s young life is over — except she finds herself back before the accident! What has happened?
Enter her Auntie Witch, Miss Yoshiyama, whom Makoto confides in about her strange experience. This is when Makoto discovers she has time leapt into the past. But does she really believe it? Could it have been a weird dream after all? Only testing the theory can confirm it. But once she does, it opens up a whole new world for young Makoto, leaping back and forth to “fix” things of minor consequence on the grander scale — such as being able to eat her pudding before it’s taken, and doing karaoke all day with her pals during faux summer break — but of great importance to her. Her pals Chiaki and Kousuke can’t understand how Makoto hardly studies, yet gets great grades!
But when a sweet girl asks out Kouske, and Chiaki startles Makoto by asking her out on a date, things get wild with the time leaping. While it’s humorous it is also very sweet. The reader can feel something more serious coming, and soon it does, when numbers begin appearing on Makoto’s arm, changing each time she time leaps. Trying to fix everything romantically for her friend, while sorting out her own young feelings, is making that number decrease significantly…
A mysterious painting, an unthinkable tragedy involving her borrowed bike, and a simple question from someone who should have no idea about time-leaping, or that she has being doing it, changes everything. Makoto learns her connection to her Auntie is much deeper than she realizes, and how important making memories are, so we no longer have the need to time leap, in the wistful, touching conclusion to this wonderful story.
Both a slice of life, coming of age story, and a light science fiction tale involving time, this manga is perfect. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, with Ranmaru Kotone adapting Yasutaka Tsutsui’s 1960s story for manga, with Yoshiyuki Sadamoto’s character designs is still one of the best things out there, and is highly recommended. If you’ve seen the film, however, know that you get more of an ending here than in the anime film, which is also quite fantastic. A real gem!

Both anime & manga review
If you haven't ever wanted to go back in time and change something in your life, then congratulations, because you must have one of the most flawless and happiest lives ever. Konno Makoto is not one of those kinds of people.
The story start of simple enough. The main character called Makoto is having what she calls a normal day where bad things are consistly happening to her. Through some unexpected events, she finds herself with the power to travel around as she would like through time. She typically uses this power to change small things about her day to make them turn out much better than they would have otherwise but after abusing her power nonstop she starts to find the travelling through time and messing with bangs can have some negative side effects.
A Little Bit Background Info: The manga for "The Girl Who Runs Through Time" and the manga based on the animated movie were actually written by two different people, so it should be too surprising if all the events don't match up exactly. "The Girl Who Runs Through Time" is manga adaptation of Yasutaka Tsutsui's original novel while the other manga with Makoto is based on the animated movie, which is sequel of sorts to the original novel written by Yasutaka Tsutsui.
There is also a live adaptation movie starring Riisa Naka (the voice of Makoto in the animated movie) and it is another take on what happens years after the original novel. It's a different story from the one featuring Makoto and doesn't appear to connect to the animated movie in any way.
BUT NONE OF THEM EXPLAINS THINGS PROPERLY SO I’M FUCKING PISSED ABOUT IT.
(We’ll get to that in a second…)
My Feels: This anime movie/manga left me crying a river on my bed.
But I loved every single second of it - the emotion, characters, plot that kept me guessing, turns and twist that had me literally muttering "ah that's how it is". Specially in the anime the humour is very well put, visuals are simply beautiful, I became attached to the characters immediately.
The movie touched my heart, but man the story feels so weak sometimes because so many things were left un-answered. But there were also times the story was beyond excellent. The twist that happens in the second half for sure will have you jump out of your chair.
There are also some mini-twists that will leave you speachless and hard to swallow. I think overall anime adaptation definitely handled some things waaay better than the manga, though.
I was amazed at how great characters were as well. Not only MC is a great lead character but all of the supportive characters are just as charming yet awesome as she is.
However, some of the things she reversed time for were just plain ridiculous. Like; OMG I was so pissed.
I mean,you just discovered you can go back in time and what do you do? Eat your pudding before your sister does? Maybe that'd be a way to verify your power, but once it's stated, almost everyone would at least attempt to win the lottery, get better grades or anyway try to improve their and their friends' life. But Makoto is so irrational and also a bit dumb if you ask me. But I loved the bit where she rewinds time to do more karaoke and loses her voice after 15 hours or something hahaha I just love the anime sooo much ^_^
About the stupidity of Makoto, though… excuse my triviality... but after sitting through so many screen hours of tsundere, yandere, yamato nadeshiko girls and all the other boring anime/manga tropes you can think of... don't you think that at the end of the day, it's a whole lot more fun to hang out with girls like Makoto? So yes she is dumb but bear with her ;)
The romance: You know what they say, love will always find you when you least expect it.
Chiaki & Makoto,
Just rip my heart out, will you?
Ending: It's official. I LOOOVE TORTURING MYSELF.
I watched the anime more than once and finally read the manga... and guess what? I'm still mad. I just cannot believe that ending. It’s just too fucking ambiguous ok? It left too many unanswered questions. Never in my life have I felt so unsatisfied. "KISS damn it! Screw your future the girl is more important!" - that was what going through in my mind near the ending.
So many people arrive at different conclusions. Why did she said that? Why did he said that? Where that fucking last charge came from? Etc. Some even suggest Makoto’s aunt and Makoto are the same people. WTF? This anime/manga can be so confusing sometimes.
A writer's job is to tell a story, not make the viewer/reader tell it for them. It's one thing to have something be open ended, but another thing to not explain ANYTHING. Sure it's great that people have theories about the film/manga, but that's all it is, theories. We don't know what is going on at all!
OK. THEORY TIME. DO NO READ IF YOU HAVENT READ THE MANGA OR WATCH THE ANIME:
I never really understood the value of fanfic before watching that film.
Ah well I guess it was a good reality check, however I would have prefer a happy ending even if it meant it would have gone off track from becoming an anime/manga masterpiece.
Overall; Good manga, awesome anime movie, but the unanswered questions will make me stay up tonight.
Extra; Anime/manga art (a non spoilery wonderful AVM): The Girl Who Leapt Through Time- Viva La Vida

Wonderful story (^_^)
I've read the book ,watched the anime and now have read the manga. I really enjoyed this story a lot. Just like the movie it has it's good moments. I won't give away any details, so you just have to read the book first then the manga then the anime. Remember time waits for no one.

I watched the movie before reading the manga. And it was good I did, because otherwise I would have thought the manga was pretty rushed. The movie was very loyal to the manga, but it changed some things, making them longer - like when Makoto is going back in time over and over again to save Kozuke's relationship with girl, or to save his life. We get to know more about Chiaki or her aunt in the movie.
It is the kind of story that makes the reader have a lot of unanswered questions at the end. Both versions are worth to check them out.

Apenas tardé un par de horas en leerlo. Es un manga de una parte maravilloso, me gusta leer mangas así que solo tienen un libro. Los dibujos me sorprendieron un montón por lo bonitos que son, hasta la letra es más grande y eso hizo más fácil la lectura. La historia no es nada nuevo, pero tiene sus cosas que lo hacen muy especial. La película es bastante fiel y transmite la misma alegría y emoción que el manga.

Boring
October 24, 2014
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
was pretty underwhelming for me.
I've heard great things about the movie adaptation so I thought hey why not read the original work the movie was adapted from?
But really, what depth can you get from a 193-paged manga that deals with the complexities of time-travel?
The answer is, not enough.
The characters were under-developed but it's not that I didn't like them. I didn't really know them and I couldn't connect to them. A good book will allow you to feel like you're there, inside the book with the characters, feeling everything they do. A good book will allow you to empathise with the character's emotions and predicaments. A good book will give you relatable protagonists and whilst there were hints of this with Makoto Konno (our female protag) it only went skin-deep.
The story itself left me confused, the ending was too ambiguous and too many new characters were introduced in the final pages.
*sigh*
The art and original concept were great but I wanted a little more of pretty much everything.
I may/may not add my thoughts about the movie once I've seen it.

I have yet to see the movie, but after reading this, I can't wait to see it.
The only real thing to say is that it is about a rather naive but well-meaning girl named Motoko who discovers that she has gained the ability to jump forward and backward through time. She means to create the best life for herself, without even stopping to think who she might be hurting in the process.
The art is very pleasing to the eye and the story is frantic, humorous and mysterious, yet it works in spite of the relative lack of information we're provided regarding Motoko's time-leaping ability. It also tugs on your heartstrings in just the right places, making it hard to keep from feeling sorry for Motoko when the consequences of her actions catch up to her.
This is a charming little story, and if the movie is anywhere near as good as this, I know for certain I'll enjoy it.

En una tarde y casi como el que no quiere la cosa me he leído este manga. Me ha gustado, sobre todo porque es tomo único y no tengo que seguir como con una serie. Una historia bien contada, con unos dibujos bonitos (aunque me hubieran gustado más en color) y con unos personajes que me han gustado. En algunas partes me he tenido que reir con las ocurrencias de Makoto. Tengo pendiente ver la película.

-Si soy sincera de doy 4 estrellas más por cariño que por nada, antes de leer él manga me vi la película, hace más de dos años, la verdad no la recuerdo bien, tan solo que me había gustado mucho. Ahora luego de haber leído él manga, debo decir que aunque me trae muchos sentimientos, podría dar mucho más de lo que da, la idea de saltar en el tiempo, aunque siento que no es el eje principal, si no lo poco que se llega a desarrollar el romance, es una idea que me enamora, y lamento mucho el hecho de ser consciente que la historia podría haberse explotado más, pudiendo crear una historia de romance con un toque peculiar, además de personajes más entrañables y una historia que en general hubiese sido mucho más profunda y significativa. Así que aunque no lo considero el mejor manga en muchos aspectos, le guardo cariño por lo que en algún momento me hizo sentir, y espero poder verme la película otra vez, aunque uno no difiere del otro.

Este manga adapta la película de anime de 2006, por lo que si has visto la película y te gusta, también lo hará el manga pues es prácticamente una copia de la misma, si no fuera por unos pequeños cambios en la trama que hacen que la lectura sea más fluida.
De hecho, para los fans de la obra original de Tsutsui, hay un miniepílogo de Kazuko y es realmente genial!!! (recordad que en este manga y en la película, Kazuko es la tía de la protagonista).

Read for the 2024 PopSugar Book challenge. Prompt #1 A book with the word "leap" in the title
What a strange read! I felt like so much was missing but also felt a lot of emotion from this one. In a traditional Japanese style of story this ends with a lot of things open for speculation. Like… A LOT and yet somehow I would still say this is a 3 because it was enjoyable. I’ll definitely seek out the anime based off of this story.

Recuerdo que ví la película hace unos 10 aprox no recuerdo mucho solo que creo que no la entendí en su momento jsjsjs ahora mismo no es que haya entendido mucho el manga, es muy poco el espacio para desarrollar bien la historia. Podría dar para más, no se explota tanto los saltos en el tiempo al final es más del tipo atesorar el presente. Aunque igual hay cosas en la historia, sobre todo al inicio, que son medias raras.
En fin, lo leí por un reto y porque me gusta el manga jejeje

کتاب روان و سادهای بود با موضوع سفر در زمان و البته عشق در دوران مدرسه... اما دقیقا متوجه نشدم آخرش چی شد
January 4, 2022
Sin ver antes la película, no lo he acabado de entender. El ritmo es muy dinamica, se lee muy rápido (tiene pocas viñetas por página y diálogos cortos), pero el final no se acaba de entender bien. Además se vuelve muy repetitivo y casi no hay desarrollo de los personajes.

A bittersweet and beautiful story that takes a fresh look at a time-worn (pardon the pun!) trope. What would you do if you could go back to the past and relive each day or moment over again? What happens when you go too far?
There's a movie, I think, based on the same story. I'll have to check that out next, since I really enjoyed the book.

I watched the trailer for the movie, and thought it looked reeeaaaly boring. But as soon as I read this, I went to amazon.com and put it on my wish list.
As 'School Life' as this seems, it's far more than the cover depicts. Trust me, it will surprise you.

January 22, 2013I have a manga of this! I've read this 2-3yrs ago! Oh wait, I'll try reading this again so I can post a decent review. But as far as I remember, the story is cute (not the best but yeah, it was cute)
February 5, 2017
Beautiful, touching & Bittersweet. Basically the way I like it but....damn it! This time around I really wanted an happy ending--an epilogue/happily ever after set in the future, maybe...

Ha sido divertido, pero el final me ha confundido bastante y creo que no está bien explicado.

Me gustó menos que la película.

At the begining I really liked the theme and drawings, but later... the plot just got too weird and I didn't know what's going on?? the ending isn't understandable for me and just boring.

(Popsugar-24): 1 A book with the word "leap" in the title.

"Why do the times you treasure most always pass by in the blink of an eye?" ~ Yasutaka Tsutsui
The Girl Who Runs Through Time (時をかける少女, Toki o Kakeru Shōjo), illustrated by Gaku Tsugano, and story by Yasutaka Tsutsui is perhaps one of the most enchanting and refreshing concepts on the time travel paradoxes I have ever read. It's a 2-volume manga adaptation that is based on a 2006 Japanese anime film which is based on a 1967 novel of the same name meaning...confusing, no?
The story follows 16-years-old high schooler, Makoto Konno. An accident on her way home from school triggered the start of her journey with Time. As teenagers often do when faced with something new and exciting, she experiments. Well, I'll leave you to imagine what happened next or better yet, I highly recommend you pick up this book.
It's heartwarming and fun with some mild thought-provoking and poignant moments. The manga is very easy to read through. It is a coming-of-age narrative with "The Butterfly Effect" vibes mixed in and beautifully illustrates just what the consequences can be when you play with TIme.
This is for anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to have the power to leap through time; to change one's story.

Makoto Konno es una estudiante totalmente normal. Tiene sus dificultades en la escuela, pasa los días jugando base ball junto a sus dos amigos, Chiaki y Kosuke, y está ansiosa que llegue el verano.
Un día descubre que tiene el poder de viajar en el tiempo, al pasado para ser exactos. A partir de aquí comienza a saltar en el tiempo para mejorar pequeñas cosas en su vida: llegar temprano a la escuela, mejorar su calificación en un examen sorpresa, comerse el último postre…
Sin embargo hay momentos que no pueden repetirse, situaciones que ocurren sólo una vez. Oportunidades que se van y no regresan. El tiempo no espera a nadie…
Este manga primero fue una película de anime, muy linda y un poco triste. Al ser un manga de un solo tomo, creo que dejaron de lado algunas cosas que ocurren en la película y que hacen que la historia sea más profunda. Sin embargo también tiene su encanto leer el manga. Las primeras paginas están a color y se ven muuuuy geniales!!

La verdad es que me ha decepcionado un poco porque esperaba más de la historia. Es como si te contara toda la historia de una vez y te diera toda la información en un solo tomo y al final tienes la sensación de no haber entendido mucho de que va la historia. No sé si esto se explicará/desarrollará mejor en el anime o en la novela porque en lo que es este manga no (en la versión anterior, La chica que viajaba por el tiempo, se desarrolla algo más pero no mucho). A mi parecer una historia así tendría que estar mejor contada y si hace falta más tomos, pues algún que otro tomo más (o más páginas). Si no da la sensación de que todo ocurre de forma abrupta, no terminan de explicar cosas y te quedas en plan: "¿qué ha pasado?". Y es una lástima porque la historia se ve interesante y esta falta de desarrollo la estropea.

Makoto, la protagonista de nuestra historia, vive algo inaudito. En el instante más fatídico de su vida se percata que puede viajar en el tiempo. ¿Qué hacer con un poder tan fuerte como controlar el tiempo a tu antojo?
La respuesta es sencilla para nuestra querida protagonista: disfrutar de la vida. Esa es la motivación que marca las pautas de la joven adolescente, hasta que se da cuenta de que todo acto tiene su consecuencia. Su tía, a la que apodan “tía bruja”, bien sabe lo que es usar un “poder” de forma descontrolada, y es por ello por lo que procura darle buenos consejos a su sobrina para que pueda usar su habilidad con cabeza.
Una historia divertida, marcada por la vitalidad de una adolescente que solo quiere disfrutar, estar con sus amigos y conseguir la meta de aprobar para ir la universidad. ¿Podrá lograr todos sus sueños tras crear el efecto mariposa?

A cute little manga!!!
This is a super cute and quick little read for a manga! It's based on a novel with the same title, and the illustrations bring the original novel to life! Overall, I found this manga to be sweet. If you enjoy manga and time-travel themed stories then this is definitely worth looking into!!!
