this is a great anime and i love it so much its is one of the few animes that has made me cry and i will tell you why first off lets talk about kaori not until the end of the show we learned that she actually loved kousei from the very beggining ever since they were mere kids she finally met him again on a playset in the middle of the park and she knew she didnt have much time to live so she spent the rest of her life living it to the fullest and using her time to try new things and get to know more people what makes this so great is she spent the rest of her life teasing kousei cause she loved him but knew if they were together and she died kousei would never be the same again so she didnt get into serious relationship with kousei to spare him the everlasting an painful grief he is going to have to go through she was a very thoughtful person and she was very kind now to for the heart breaking part when she broke the news to him that she loved him for as long as she can remeber he was heartbroken she left him a note after she died explaining why she loved him and everything she loved about him to be honest this is one of the most heartbreaking anime ending i have seen in all my years of watching anime this anime was great i give my thanks to the creator to bring this anime to us so we can actually see what it is like to lose someone you love i thank them for giving me an anime i can enjoy and an anime that i can love and be sad about this was a great anime i wish there was more of it like this or if there is i wish i could find it well anyways i give this a staright 10/10 :]
