Đứa con của thời tiết - Bản đặc biệt

by Makoto Shinkai, Mỹ Trinh (translator)

Đứa Con Của Thời Tiết

Tình thơ, gặp gỡ và chia ly là những vòng sóng đồng tâm trong thế giới Shinkai Makoto.

Từng có cô Yuki chia tay Takao ở Khu vườn ngôn từ để đến dạy văn cho Mitsuha ở Your Name.

Nay lại có Mitsuha và Taki chia tay Your Name. để sang ĐỨA CON CỦA THỜI TIẾT, gặp gỡ các tâm sóng mới là Hina và Hodaka.

Đứa con của thời tiết phác ra thương yêu cô đọng giữa hoang mang của đô thị lớn và ngặt nghèo hơn, là giữa hoang mang của một thời đại biến đổi khí hậu bấp bênh.

Vì một sự cố tình cờ, Hina được tạo hóa ban cho năng lực đặc biệt: làm nắng. Năng lực ấy càng thêm nhiệm màu khi đặt vào bối cảnh Nhật Bản hứng mưa triền miên, mưa đến mức vòm trời âm u trở thành cơm bữa, nước dâng gặm dần các đảo, và Tokyo có nguy cơ biến thành đô thị kênh đào.

Nhưng đến đây, phong cách song hành nhất quán của Shinkai lại trỗi dậy. Trong lạc có bi, trong hạnh phúc sẵn chia ly, được ban phép màu ắt phải đánh đổi. Đứa con của thời tiết cũng không thể tùy ý tắt bật nắng mưa mà không phải trả giá gì. Theo sau một lần làm nắng, là chất chứa hàng chuỗi ăn mòn, hối hận, mạo hiểm, giải cứu, và đằng đẵng cách xa.

Cũng như Your Name., ĐỨA CON CỦA THỜI TIẾT tiếp tục đan cài giữa truyền thống và hiện đại, huyền thoại và thực tế, nguy cơ và mộng ước, thiên tai và con người… nhưng có điểm khác là, lần đầu tiên hạnh phúc cá nhân đã được nhấn mạnh, nhân vật đã bứt mình khỏi tâm thế bao la vì mọi người.

Definitivamente... sorprendente.

Hoy mismo hablaba en mi Instagram TV de las novelas que de primeras juzgas pensando que no te van a gustar, y este es un claro ejemplo de ello.

Weathering With You es la adaptación a novela de la película homónima, ambas escritas por Shinkai (reconocido director por su obra Your Name). En una nota al final del libro habla sobre cómo finalizó antes la escritura de la novela que el propio guion de la película, por lo que se intuye que, quizá, la novela tenga más garra.

Nos encontramos con una historia de amor nada típica, y aunque a mí personalmente no me haya parecido una novela romántica, es considerada así por el propio autor. No le vayamos a discutir, anda. Lo que sí le compro es cómo muestra el sacrificio del amor, la obsesión, el dejarlo todo por alguien... En ese sentido: bravo.

image:

Bueno, la cosa: esta novela es diferente. No solo la narración lo es, sino que juega con muchos puntos de vista y formas de hacerlo. Tenemos desde presenta a pasado, primera persona y segunda, entremezclando estos elementos para poder conocer mejor a todos los personajes, aunque los principales sean Hina y Hodaka.

La novela trata temas de todo tipo: conspiraciones, cambio climático, romance, disputas legales, el uso de las armas... Una variedad de cosas que van surgiendo poco a poco y que, sin darte cuenta, son tratadas. Eso me ha parecido magistral por su parte, porque sin darte cuenta, te ha clavado un nuevo tema con el que avanzar en la trama.

En definitiva, Weathering With You es una novela diferente, intensa y creo que atrevida. La trama sorprende por su originalidad y es mejor que comencéis a leerla sin saber demasiado. Es aventura, es obsesión, es magia. Es todo en uno, y eso es lo que hace brillar a este libro.

Let's start off by saying that I am an absolute fan of Makoto Shinkai, yet I delayed reading/watching TENKI NO KO because many people claimed it to be better than KIMI NO NA WA and I want nothing to be better than it.

News flash - I WAS RIGHT. ✨




Though both these stories are very similar, but Kimi no na wa is still better and beautiful than tenki no ko.

Well it's not a topic of debate here.



The plot about star crossed lovers is exceptional as one can expect from Shinkai. It's grounded yet magical and has both a fantasy and realistic feel. Perfectly paced story which kept the readers on edge as they wanted to know the fate of our Sunshine girl Hina and our very own runaway boy Hodako. Their chemistry was perfect and cute.



All the characters are fresh and real. Even the side characters were equally enjoyable as the main characters. The interaction between MCs was refreshing and cute. I actually cared about them. Seeing Keisuke make the necessary clutch decision really made me smile. They all bring important aspects which add to the story, while letting the main two characters shine.



I am an emotionally monotone person so saying that I was emotionally invested in the book is something great. Though I didn't cey buckets like I did while watching KIMI NO NA WA ( that shit is something else), but I enjoyed it.

It's not like Your name so don't go in thinking you will get exact feels it isdifferent with it's own merits and demerits.

The first book I read this year.

Novel-wise, I personally think this is one of Shinkai’s best works. There’s something so warm and heartfelt about it, and I feel connected to the characters more intimately compared to Your Name.

Plot-wise it’s bittersweet as always. I haven’t seen the movie (missed the Japanese version when it came out in theatres) but would love a chance to catch the American version if it ever gets released somewhere. But then again, I know I’d love it as much as I love all of Shinkai’s movies. I also appreciate how the foreword tells me so much about the background of Weathering With You, and how the ending came together.

Though the story is interesting and the anime movie beautiful, the book is not as good.

The narration is messy, jumping from one scene to another and confusing the reader. It was like reading the script without the in the middle part. Which is unfortunate, as the story is solid.

The truth is I tried quite a few times to pick this up and continue it, but the narration stopped me every time.

So, I'm dropping it. But the movie is still superb.

"โลกน่ะ มันเพี้ยนมาตั้งนานแล้ว"
สนุกใสๆ หนังสือของ Shinkai เล่มนี้อ่านได้ ไม่ทำร้ายจิตใจมากนัก
พออ่านเจอชื่อ "สาวฟ้าใส" ทำให้นึกถึงตอนสมัยอ่านโดราเอม่อนที่มีชื่อตอนเกี่ยวกับ "ชายเรียกฝน" เลยแฮะ

"ฤดูฝันฉันมีเธอ" เล่าเรื่องชีวิตวัยรุ่นของหนุ่มมัธยมต้นที่หนีจากบ้านต่างจังหวัด เข้ามาค้นหาชีวิตในเมืองหลวงอย่างโตเกียว
บุพเพสันนิวาสบันดาลให้มาเจอกับ "สาวฟ้าใส" กับน้องชายสุดคูล

"สาวฟ้าใส" เป็นสาวน้อยที่มีพลังไล่ฝน ที่เป็นตำนานความเชื่อ เล่าขานกันมานับแต่โบราณของญี่ปุ่น
พอเจ้าหนุ่มจับคู่กับสาวฟ้าใส ไอเดียหาเงินก็บรรเจิด เพราะพลังของสาวฟ้าใสสามารถการันตีสภาพอากาศ พลิกจากฝนตกหนัก กลายเป็นแดดออกในบัดดล
อยากให้อากาศแจ่มใสรึ จ่ายมาเลย 4000 เยน

อยากให้อากาศแจ่มใส มีราคา
และแน่นอน การเป็นสาวฟ้าใส ก็มีราคาเช่นกัน

Makoto Shinkai บรรยายฉากในเรื่องได้เพลิดเพลิน จินตนาการตามไได้สบายๆ และนี่คือพลังของตัวหนังสือ เพราะคนอ่านสามารถสร้างภาพจากตัวอักษรได้ตามใจชอบ
การเดินเรื่องไม่ยืดยาด เดินเรื่องหลากสไตล์มาก ทั้งเล่าไปเรื่อยๆ และทั้งเล่าผ่านตัวละครบุคคลที่หนึ่งสลับไปมาในแต่ละตัว
ไม่มีการตัดสลับฉากที่ซับซ้อนชวนปวดหัว

ตัวละครเอกอย่างสาวฟ้าใสมีพลังเหนือธรรมชาติ ทั้งๆ ที่เป็นตำนานปรัมปราของญี่ปุ่น แต่ Shinkai เอามาเล่าด้วยบริบทที่เป็นยุคปัจจุบันอย่างยอดเยี่ยม
คิดดูว่าสามารถเรียกบริการสาวฟ้าใส 100% ผ่านระบบ online ได้
ผสมผสานตำนานเหนือธรรมชาติกับโลคยุค internet of things ได้อย่างเนียนตา ไม่มีความสะดุดแปร่งเลย
เป็น magical realism ฉบับ light novel เลยมั้ยนี่

อย่างที่บอกไปว่าการเป็นสาวฟ้าใสนั้น มันมีราคาที่ต้องจ่าย
Shinkai ลากให้ลุ้นไปถึงตอนจบว่าราคาที่ต้องจ่ายนั้น มันจะมากมายสำหรับตัวละครขนาดไหน
นอกจากนี้ก็ยังลุ้นตลอดทางว่าจะสร้างฉากจบรูปแบบไหนให้กับคนอ่าน

ดราม่าจากเล่มนี้ไม่ได้เข้มข้นมากนัก เรียกได้ว่าดราม่ากลางๆ แต่ตื่นตาตื่นใจไปกับตำนานและการเดินเรื่องมากกว่า

แน่นอนว่าเล่มนี้ แฟน Shinkai ต้องไม่พลาด

Akhirnya selesai dibaca!

Hmm... sebenarnya aku agak kecewa dengan novel ini karena terasa jumpy banget. Beneran gamblang kayak adegan di filmnya, dan untung masih cukup jelas juga adegannya. Sayang aja jadi nggak terasa tuntas pas selesai dibaca. Rasanya pilihan penulis slash sutradara dalam memakai PoV 1 tuh kurang tepat. Iya, iya. Ini pendapatku aja kok. Soalnya Hina-chan nggak tereksplorasi banget perasaannya...

Terus, aku nggak tahu kenapa sama baca terjemahannya. Bukan, bukannya nggak bagus. Tentu terjemahannya bagus, tapi pemilihan katanya kurang enak. Dan itu cukup banyak. Biasanya aku anteng-anteng aja kalo terjemahan bahasa Jepang Penerbit Haru ini. Eh, kenapa si kucing gendat ini disebut "Ame" doang siiiih... kan kalo di filmnya pake "chan"! Ame-chan~

I was fortunate to get to see Weathering With You in the theater earlier this year, and I loved it. When I saw that Makoto Shinkai had written the novelization of the film (just as he did earlier for your name.), I checked it out from the library and read it all within one day. It's a fun way to revisit the story. What you miss in this version is, of course, the stunning visuals and musical score. But what you gain is a little more time with the characters, learning what they're thinking. Shinkai has an interesting way of shifting perspectives so that you're not quite certain whose thoughts you're hearing until some detail makes it clear. This technique lets us get into the minds of Suga and Natsumi much more in the novel than in the film.

What comes through in all of Shinkai's storytelling, whatever the medium, is that he is a deeply joyful, caring person. Weathering With You is a much darker film than your name., but its darkness and devastation quietly resolve into something that's also hopeful and light.

In letzter Zeit gehen meine Meinungen zu Buchclub-Büchern irgendwie immer sehr stark auseinander. Während ich manche wirklich sehr mochte, kann ich dieses Buch für mich leider nur als Katastrophe bezeichnen.
Wobei ich an der Stelle noch einwerfen möchte, dass das Buch wahrscheinlich besser verständlich rüber kommt, wenn man vorher den Film gesehen hat. Das hatte und habe ich bisher nicht, aber ich wollte es auf jeden Fall noch.
Das vorangeschickt muss ich leider sagen, dass das beste am ganzen Buch das Nachwort und der Kommentar war. Das war stilistisch nämlich noch angenehm zu lesen. Was man vom Rest leider nicht sagen kann.
Worum geht es? Wie schon angedeutet, beruht das Buch auf einem Anime (und der kann eigentlich nur besser sein als das Buch). Die Geschichte klingt eigentlich ganz süß: Ein Junge wird zum Ausreißer und will in Tokio leben, ergattert einen Job bei dem er für Artikel zu okkulten Themen recherchieren soll und trifft dabei auf ein Mädchen, das das Wetter kontrollieren kann.
Allerdings konnte ich mich auf die Geschichte gar nicht richtig einlassen, weil ich den Schreibstil so furchtbar fand. Die Erzählperspektive wechselt immer mal zwischen verschiedenen Charakteren. Abschnitte fangen mit einem Ich-Erzähler an und erst gegen Ende wird klar, wer überhaupt gerade erzählt. Die Handlung ist sprunghaft, die Charaktere auch. Man weiß nicht, was sie denken und was sie tatsächlich sagen, weil beides gleich aussieht im Text. Und die Dialoge sind das pure Grauen. Gefühlt bestehen sie nur aus "Waas?", "hä?" und "ähm".
Das Lesen hat wirklich absolut keinen Spaß gemacht, deshalb gibt es von mir auch nur einen ⭐.

Sering ada yang nanya, "Apa bedanya cerita versi film dengan cerita versi novel?" Well, dari segi alur dan ending tidak ada bedanya. Hanya saja, menurutku, alur di dalam film terlalu cepat bergerak, sehingga kemungkinan besar banyak detail terlewat disadari. Aku sangat merasakan setelah membaca novel lalu menonton filmnya.

Dan buat kalian yg ngatain Hodaka bucin, mungkin kalian akan mengerti perasaannya setelah membaca versi novel.

[Berit · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ich hab das Gefühl, dass diese Geschichte als Romanadaption eines Mangas nicht wirklich gut funktioniert. Das Konzept an sich find ich nämlich nach wie vor ganz interessant, aber dieser Schreibstil hat es mir leider überhaupt nicht möglich gemacht, mich auf die Story einzulassen. Ich lege beim Lesen immer sehr viel Wert auf Sprache und Stil, ist natürlich letzten Ende alles Geschmackssache, aber hierbei waren die Dialoge super platt und die ganzen Interjektionen zwischendurch habe ich als sehr nervig empfunden.

[Puty · Rating 3 out of 5]

Setelah selesai membaca buku ini dan 'Your Name' versi terjemahan oleh penerbit yang sama (review bisa dicek di https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...), saya menyimpulkan bahwa buku memang hanya bisa jadi medium cerita sekunder untuk karya sekelas 'Your Name' dan 'Weathering with You'. Menurut saya terlalu sulit menerjemahkan keindahan animasinya menjadi kata-kata.

Seandainya saya belum menonton film animasinya, sebagai pembaca saya pikir saya akan kesulitan menangkap banyak bagian, apalagi ada yang ditulis dari point of view karakter pendukung (Suga-san, Natsumi, Nagi) yang bisa bikin bingung karena hanya dibedakan dari jenis font-nya saja.

Namun, bagi penggemar film animasinya, menurut saya buku ini bisa jadi collectible item. Ada bagian-bagian yang terlalu cepat di film dijelaskan dengan lebih baik di buku ini. Ada beberapa pertanyaan saya yang akhirnya bisa terjawab melalui bukunya.

The bad: I'm reading the novel without having watched the movie, which on one hand probably doesn't give me the context others might have, but on the other hand might also allow me to have a less biased view. Although the rich and beautiful descriptions of Tokyo life and of the protagonist's shenanigans are interesting enough, the plot is fairly simple and the book isn't remarkable by any means - just good enough.

The good: the best part of the book are definitely the vivid and colorful descriptions of everyday life. The book reads like a fresh, innocent story, easy and pleasant to read.

[sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decided to give this book 3 stars instead of 2. I would recommend watching the movie first, though. Reading the book independently can be confusing at times, especially with the alternating povs. I wish they at least put an indication of who’s talking so the readers could actually save time from guessing lol. The scene breaks sometimes come off too abrupt and kind of disrupt the flow of the story. But I appreciated the story more after watching the movie and to be honest, I would’ve been fine without reading the book.

Niedliche Idee und für die gedachte Zielgruppe bestimmt auch ganz gut.
Für mich war dieser Roman leider überhaupt nichts.
Gestört haben mich hauptsächlich die Dialoge und der Schreibstil. Wahrscheinlich funktioniert die Geschichte als Manga deutlich besser.

Form yang berlainan (layar perak dan novel), feel yang sama.

[Rifat · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story is mainly about the rain which never stopped until the 'Sunshine girl' prayed for a sunny weather.It tells about two high schoolers named Hodaka and Hina. Hodaka lived with his family in a island. But he was so pissed of his daily life that he left home and ran away to Tokyo.On the other hand, Hina was living with her younger brother Nagi. She had a mysterious power of controlling the weather. But she had to pay something if she used the power.

Honestly, this was boring!! The story was good but boring😐

Hodaka prayed-

Dear God, if you really exist, I beg you. This is more than enough. We don't need anything more than these. We'll manage somehow.
So,please.....
Don't give us anymore and don't take anything from us.
Dear God!
Please, I beg you.

I am giving this 3 stars for the prayer because we also have such delusions.

I think it's better to enjoy the movie than reading this book.

Ich könnte mir gut vorstellen, dass dieses Buch 5 Sterne bekommt sobald ich den Film gesehen habe 😄.
Nach Your Name waren meine Erwartungen natürlich sehr hoch, aber die Geschichte zu Weathering with you hat mir auch sehr gut gefallen. Nur die verschiedenen POV's haben es mir manchmal etwas schwer gemacht, da diese nicht mit dem jeweiligen Namen gekennzeichnet sind 😅. Ansonsten war es wirklich toll!

[Clara (clarylovesbooks) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Non ho avuto occasione di andare a vedere "Weathering With You" al cinema, quindi quando a Natale mi é stato regalato il libro ero emozionatissima di conoscere finalmente la storia! Il libro é scorrevolissimo e si legge tutto d'un fiato. La narrazione é molto semplice ma efficace. La storia é davvero particolare e davvero impossibile da poter spiegare per quanto sia surreale ma, per molti aspetti, ricorda tantissimo "Your Name". Per questo motivo, non definirei questa nuova storia particolarmente originale, ma ho deciso di darle quattro stelline perché é stata comunque una lettura molto bella e piacevole, che consiglio a tutti i fan di "Your Name"!

Insgesamt ist die Storyline ganz cute und spannender als ich es mir am Anfang vorgestellt habe :) bis zur Hälfte passiert nichts wirklich extrem spannendes, aber gegen Ende wird’s voll schön

[Adrianne · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a novel, this book is much better than your name. Like a million times better. The characters are more fleshed out, motivations are a bit clearer here, and I think the story is just overall more compelling. The afterward and essay both have reduced me to tears.

As a movie, I still think your name. is just slightly better (but probably because I've seen it more times).

Basically, read this book. Have Makoto Shinkai write and direct your life because at least you'll have a happy ending despite all the shit that happens.

[Bagus · Rating 3 out of 5]

I've been a fan of Makoto Shinkai's works for quite some time now, and although I missed the chance to watch his two latest films, "Tenki no Ko" and "Suzume”, when they were screened in theaters, I felt compelled to at least explore the light novel version of "Tenki no Ko" or "Weathering with You" (otherwise, I wouldn't be able to claim to be his fan!). The story unfolds at a measured pace. Initially, I found the protagonist, Hodaka Morishima, lacking a proper introduction. Everything starts briefly as Hodaka, a 16-year-old teenager, decides to run away, leaving his hometown on the island of Kōzu-shima in a boat bound for Tokyo. During his journey, his life is saved by a certain Mr Keisuke Suga, a company owner who, in turn, offers Hodaka a job during his brief sojourn in Tokyo when he has nowhere else to go.

Some aspects of the story are highly intriguing, particularly the central theme of "weather". In the story, there's a myth about "sunshine girls”, individuals who can influence the weather through prayer, essentially controlling it at will. As the story progresses, Hodaka becomes acquainted (and later, more intimate) with Hina Amano, one of these sunshine girls. Hina can bring sunny days when the weather forecast predicts rain, but this power comes at the cost of her eventual disappearance.

The way weather operates in the story contradicts the highly accurate weather forecasts in Japan, a country that invests approximately $570 million in weather and climate services. Given Japan's vulnerability to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, and irregular rainfall, it makes sense to allocate significant resources to meteorological forecasting technologies. However, this story introduces an element absent from meteorology: the influence of supernatural factors on the weather, embodied by the sunshine girl. It's reminiscent of an ancient Japanese myth about a colossal underground catfish called the Namazu or Ōnamazu, believed to cause earthquakes.

The story also emphasises the importance of preserving nature and considering the climate while asserting that everything on Earth is transient. When relentless rain inundates one-third of Tokyo after three years of continuous downpours in the story, it becomes evident that the submergence of Tokyo is an eventual reality, following the city's historical pattern. Beneath the concrete buildings and neon lights, Tokyo is a city built on water, where two ancient rivers, the Uda and the Onden, intersected. Over time, Tokyo has turned its back on its water heritage. Streams have been filled, and highways constructed directly over rivers. Waterways that once served as vital transportation routes and hubs of cultural life have become polluted, desolate, and nearly abandoned, something that happened to many major cities around the globe.

The story acknowledges that climate change is a reality but posits that it's not the first time in history that such climatic shifts or city submersions have occurred. Some events from the past are destined to recur as part of a cyclical pattern. Yet, this doesn't imply that Makoto Shinkai denies climate change or attributes it solely to divine intervention. Instead, he suggests that alongside technological factors, other supernatural forces may be at play in shaping the world's climate and destiny.

Actual rate 4.5

Definisi dari good mood langsung tiba-tiba mellow 🙂. Beneran, deh!🤣 kalau liat story aku 2 hari lalu, awalnya aku nganggep lucu gitu tentang bisnis membuat cuaca cerah, karena unik dan bikin ketawa baca ulasan pelanggan cuaca cerah. Ehhhh.. tapiii mendadak jadi sedih bgtttt 🥲.

#VioReads2022

Weathering With You menceritakan Hodaka yang kabur ke Tokyo. Selama beberapa hari ia luntang-lantung di sekitaran Tokyo sampa akhirnya jadi anak magang ditempat Suga-san. Suatu hari Hodaka kembali bertemu dengan Hina-san. Hina-san pernah memberikan burger ke Hodaka saat dirinya masih luntang-lantung di Tokyo. Karena Hina-san juga keterbetasan dana, akhirnya Hodaka yang punya ide untuk bikin bisnis cuaca cerah ini.

Sebenarnya di tempat magang Suga-san, Hodaka sering mewawancara dan bikin artikel tentang mitologi gadis yang bisa mengubah cuaca menajdi cerah, jadi kayak lucu aja gitu ternyata beneran ada 🤣. Awalnya bisnis mereka berjalan dengan baik. Hodaka, Hina-san dan Nagi (adik Hina) meraup banyak keuntungan dan cuara cerah selalu berhasil!

Sampai suatu saat segalanya berubah kacau dan berantakan, mereka harus mengambil keputusan penting. Dari sini alurnya langsung kerasa cepet dan bikin penasaran sama apa yang terjadi selanjutnya. Konflik mulai memuncak dan kejadian demi kejadian bermunculan, disini bagian sedihnya yess 🥺 Hodaka se-effort ituuu!

Chemistry antara Hina maupun Hodaka berasa bgt, bukan yg tiba2 jadi saling suka gitu, emg naluriah secara proses. Karakter pendukung lainnya juga ngebantu bgt untuk bikin alur dibuku ini makin menarik 😆. Yang aku paling kagum, sih, detail-detail dari setiap kejadian itu beneran dijelasin dan runtut, jadinya seakan ikut ke dalam ceritanya. Apalagi bagian Hodaka naik motor sama Natsumi untuk ke gedung terbengkalai 💯

Walaupun ada beberapa part yang aku agak ga nyambung (mainly conversationnya), overall this is such a heartwarming story 🥺❤️ dan ada moral story yang ingin disampaikan.

”We’ll be all right.”

First, I’d like to apologize to your name. fans and say that I loved Weathering With You so much more. The idea of fighting against the fate you’re trapped in for the sake of one you love really resonated with me.

What I really adored about this book was all of the little details it adds on to the movie. Makoto Shinkai talks about it in the book’s afterword, saying they weren’t meant to be ‘bonuses’ and were added to smooth the transition from movie to novel, but they make the book just as amazing as the movie. I loved getting to see and hear the thoughts of the characters around Hodaka and Hina!

Weathering With You is my absolute favorite movie, and this book has become one of my favorites too. Both are incredible, and each in their own ways. Words can’t express how much I loved this! Thank you Makoto Shinkai! ♡

I think wordings below might help you get some main ideas of this romantic fantasy story from Makoto Shinkai.

"...มนุษย์เรานั้นใช้ตนเองเป็นบรรทัดฐานเพื่อดำเนินชีวิตต่อไป...ชักนำตัวตนของตัวเองให้เข้าใกล้สิ่งซึ่งคล้าย 'ความถูกต้อง' ของโลก เมื่อเป็นเช่นนั้นแล้วจึงวางใจ...ทว่าการทำเช่นนั้นจะทำให้เราหลงลืมขอบเขตความถูกต้องของโลกและความจริงในใจของเราไปทีละน้อย..."

Sama persis sis sis dengan filmnya. Ya tahu sih ini memang buku adaptasi dari film, tapi novelnya ga memberikan tambahan apa-apa sama sekali. Gak ada detail khusus, gak ada pemikiran karakter2nya, gak ada tambahan adegan.

Gak jelek, karena filmnya juga memang bagus dan temanya gak mainstream, ya begitulah. Kalau sudah nonton filmnya ga perlu lagi baca novelnya.

Versi novel ringan terbaik. Saya suka karya Makoto Shinkai kali ni. Feel dia memang lagi deep dari filem anime dan ada banyak babak yang diterangkan dengan lebih jelas dalam ni berbanding dengan filem.
