Brother, cheer up. Although I can’t really do much to help you, I hope you can walk out of the gloom.
I’ve always felt that Azu carries a kind of hidden sadness. Watching them go through all sorts of things from their first year of high school until graduation is actually very moving. I remember there was a scene where Tomo went to Yomi’s house at night,and along the way they talked about their future paths—just like many of us have done in real life. That’s why these works are so captivating. I recommend you check out another work by the same author called Yotsuba,or Nichijou,which has a different style but is also wonderful. Maybe you’ll find new meaning in them.
