e letting go of your love? A stunning official comics adaptation that manages to add new layers of emotion and intimacy to one of director Makoto Shinkai's (Your Name, Weathering with You, Suzume) defining works--finally available in gorgeous hardcover!

"[W]hat this version has over the film--more depth. The format just allows for it, and Shinkai and Seike take advantage of that... So, if you're a fan of the film, there are plenty of reasons to pick this version up. If you've never seen the film, I highly recommend it." --ComicAttack

"Yukiko Seike's adaptation acquits itself on all points. More than acquits itself, actually. Because as good as Shinkai's 5 Centimeters is (and it is good), Seike's 5 Centimeters is better... Roundly satisfying." --Good Ok Bad

"History does not tend to smile on manga adaptations of anime properties... It is nothing short of a miracle that 5 Centimeters per Second is one of the best Japanese comics I have ever read... Seike's take on the story is more human--a stunning feat considering the strong emotional punch of Shinkai's original film." --Ani-Gamers

"There are a number of things I expect from a romance manga, occasionally even things that change who I think I am. But I was genuinely shocked to find something in 5 Centimeters per Second that no other romance anime or manga has ever had. Good relationship advice." --The Anime Harvest
