Having not read any kind of description about this manga, but just diving right in, I'm very surprised!
This manga was really freaking sad, but it was also beautiful in its message. I think I'm definitely going to find my way back to this story and these characters, Yuu (Augustine) and Juri. It was a love that was never meant to be in a world that seemed to never end its perpetual tragedy.
But things just happen to work out in the end c,:
I can't explain these overwhelming feelings in English but: INI SAKIT BANGET ASU, GW MAU NANGIS AJA UDAH GAK BISA LAGI. SESEK PARAH DADA GW TOLONG
After multiple suicide attempts, Juri was asked by her nun aunt to accompany her to a jail and meet one of the inmate that is on a death row. Obviously, Aunt Monica is trying to make Juri realizes the value of a future that she has compared to him. Unbeknownst to her, one meeting led to another and the more Juri talks to Yuu, the inmate, the more she learns about the world outside of her own.
I don't think that this manga could pull off my heartstrings and make me cry since I know that this is a heartbreaking story just from the synopsis. Owh, I was wrong. It is a heart-wrencher! This manga contains 8 chapters and every chapter tells the story of one of their meeting. It's a story of two people from two very different yet very similar world. A very cruel world. A few times in it, when Yuu speaks, I want to pause and jot down his dialogue. It's very emotional and gives something to think. What I learned from this is that everyone need a purpose to live. Without it, we're like a sheet of paper that being push away by the wind...it's pointless. I would want to read the original novel [b:Our Happy Time|15712655|Our Happy Time (Cinta Tak Pernah Salah Memilih Waktu)|Gong Jiyoung|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1340109313l/15712655._SY75_.jpg|69853399].
Pari is the reason I read this manga and I am gonna owe her forever.
What hit me home is that the topics of not wanting to live and the longing to live was so beautifully balanced and it was painful to hold them both on the same level.
Painfully harmonic and happily melancholic, "Our Happy Hours"(Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan) is a journey to living life.
