Five Centimeters Per Second
About This Novel
Did you know that the speed of cherry blossoms falling is 5 centimeters per second? How fast do I have to live to see you again? Director Xin Hai of "Journey to Suzuya" and "Your Name" wrote his first novel, looking for an unforgettable green love in the passing time. "5 Centimeters per Second" is based on a young man, and is composed of three consecutive short stories "Sakura Copy", "Astronaut" and "5 Centimeters per Second" that are gradually unfolded to form the complete "5 Centimeters per Second". This work is the first novel written by Makoto Shinkai himself. Through delicate brushstrokes, he sensitively and delicately depicts the indescribable character of him and their mood swings in the animated film "Five Centimeters Per Second" he directed. This is a story that quietly and slowly penetrates the heart, depicting the unchanging and changing love, as well as the wandering of the soul. The world is so beautiful and youth is so gorgeous, but the protagonist in the story only wants to talk to himself. What is the "farthest distance in the world"? For a young man who has been living in yesterday, walking out of the room in his heart is the longest distance... The simple story is extremely real, and it arouses the deepest silent emotion in his heart.

I feel very sad after watching it. I think of those things, the girl I once liked, the courage to disappear, and how to get rid of the unwillingness in my heart.
Highly recommended, I cried immediately after watching it
I didn't understand anything after watching the movie before, but now I understand it after reading the novel.
The author is hurrying up to publish a new book! It's always these books
After watching the movie, I couldn't stand it anymore. It was so sad. The ending.
Continue to update works, come on the author
After watching it, I learned about avoiding attachment 😅
Many of the anime I watch have no storyline
The speed of cherry blossoms falling is five centimeters per second
I once watched an animated movie, and I only remember the large swath of cherry blossoms falling from the trees, with pink petals spinning and flying under the blue sky, falling on the shoulders of boys and girls, and falling on the street. The wind blew up the hem of the girl's skirt and rippled on the gentle corners of the boy's mouth. Unexpectedly, the text depicts the inner activities of youth more delicately. I want to say that Makoto Shinkai's animation is so beautiful, but his text is even more beautiful. It is written in my heart and makes people feel quiet, peaceful and comfortable. Even when I am confused and helpless, there is still some hope of life. It seems that Guishu is myself, and I have the same troubles as him, as if no one can enter my heart. I looked at it and wanted to have a glimpse of his life and what his future would be like. It might still be a cliché to marry someone who can tolerate indifference and move towards a stable relationship, but I am still living in such confusion. The invisible future makes me feel a little anxious, although I have been comforting myself at the moment. Life is not like this at this moment. I am living my current life peacefully, and my current unwillingness is avoiding any life that will cause me pain. In the end, where will my heart go? Whether I will get married and have children according to the mainstream concepts, whether I will be able to meet someone or choose someone carefully, I am full of fear for the future.
I feel so uncomfortable after watching this. I have a question, why did Guishu break up with Mingli? [Emot=default,08/]
