The Garden of Words brings to the manga page all the beauty and mystery of the award-winning film from artful animator Makoto Shinkai. Beloved for the simple grace of its artwork as much as the poetic elegance of its text (adapted by Midori Motohashi), The Garden of Words begins with a chance, rainswept encounter between Takao, a young man who dreams of becoming a shoe designer, and Yukari, an enigmatic woman he finds sitting alone, nursing a beer on a park bench. The spare interaction of these two lonely souls sparks a spiritual transformation for the young man, and perhaps the woman as well. As this intriguing, understated story unfolds, their lives will become further intertwined amid rain, beer, school, and shoe cobbling. Words are not often necessary, but in this case just a few words can make a difference in one's heart. Review: Quality of the paper and printing - I really appreciate the paper quality, it was like a thin canvas paper. Review: A little Gem - I saw this anime way back in 2013, at the suggestion of someone I was crushing on deeply. She went away, this stayed, and the world of Makoto Shinkai opened up to me. I have never looked back since.

A little Gem
I saw this anime way back in 2013, at the suggestion of someone I was crushing on deeply. She went away, this stayed, and the world of Makoto Shinkai opened up to me. I have never looked back since.

Beautiful Story, But Slightly Overpriced
The Garden of Words manga has a heartfelt and beautifully written story with stunning artwork that perfectly complements the narrative. However, the price feels a bit high for what it offers. If you're a fan of emotional stories and great visuals, it's worth considering, but be prepared for the premium cost.

Too expensive
I would say it is good and emotional and if you want to read a manga, This is a very good option but it is kind of expensive according to the product, when I brought it was 799, So when you're reading this review maybe it will high or low. I think 499 rupees will be enough. Thanks for reading.

Read this !
This manga is good to read and there is no problem . The problem lies with the Seller , when you sell book , especially manga , you have to cover the book with care and don't send used or damaged books . That is an insult to all the manga readers out there . So next time make sure to deliver the book with no damage

Buena adaptación
El servicio de Amazon fue excelente como de costumbre, llegó a tiempo y el producto presentó cero defectos, además de que el precio fue inferior al de portada. La calidad del manga es buena, papel grueso amarfilado, buen empastado que no ondula para nada las hojas, cero diálogos recortados, un par de hojas a color y portada de cartoncillo sin cubrepolvos, de tamaño muy similar a los mangas grandes de editorial panini aquí en México. Es un solo tomo. La historia es idéntica a la película excepto por un pequeñísimo detalle al final, pero no aporta nada sustancial nuevo, además de que obviamente carece de la belleza visual de las películas de Shinkai. Por ello, recomiendo el manga sólo para los fans más ávidos. En lo personal estoy muy satisfecha con esta compra.

Nice read
Pretty short (about an hour) read. But if you're a fan definitely worth it! Nice artwork and it's like a mini movie

Amazing book !
Watched the movie this year and fell in love with the art, story, soundtrack and characters. I'm glad they made a manga version of it ; now I can read it wherever I go, whenever I want :3
