A review by mymultiverse
Weathering with You, Vol. 1 by Makoto Shinkai
ARC provided in exchange of an honest review. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher.
Let me preface this review by saying that I have not read the novel nor watched the movie, so I cannot and will not make any comparisons with those.
The story is really interesting, and the idea anc concept of Weather Girl is quite clever. I liked how we first hear about her, Hodaka's relationship with her and the research about ther phenomenon, as well as the possibilities it brings with it.
The pace is another good aspect the manga has going on in its favour, it's fast to get into and it never drags down. The characters are all compelling and you want to know more about them, not only the two main characters, but also their friends. But that's where I have my first complain, and it's that once Hodaka starts knowing Hina, our Sun Girl, we kinda forget about the rest of the characters, who should be featured a bit more in it, given their relationship with Hodaka.
I have a couple other concers about the story, nothing major, that I cannot get into without spoiling some aspects, but they're mainly about the characters and how calm they're about everything. Sometimes the way they dealt with what was happening and their reactions was confusing and too chill for me.
It's the first volume, so I understand not getting all the answers immediately, but it's a bit funny how good Hina is at controlling her 'powers'. I'd also like to know more about her and why she's the way she is, so I'll definetely be reading volume 2 soon.
