Since I have seen the movie and fell in love with not only its stunning visuals, but also its storytelling, I was very curious about the manga. I'm grateful to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a digital copy! The story is about Hodaka, a runaway struggling to make a living in a Tokyo where it constantly rains. No one will hire him since he is a minor and hasn't finished school. Luckily, a chance encounter with a journalist gives him the opportunity to work as his assistant. He has to research for an article featuring an ancient myth about a sunshine girl who is connected to the heavens. It just so happens that he meets Hina, who is such a girl. Whenever she prays, the clouds clear up and the sun shines. However, this gift comes with a price. I was a little surprised about how many things are already happening in the first volume! The plot moves quickly and towards the end, we already glimpse the first hint of consequences for Hina. It definitely made me want to keep reading, even though I've seen the movie and know what's going to happen. However, despite my preference for fast story lines, the first few chapters end up feeling a bit rushed. Especially in regards to the characters, their developments and interactions. The story is still stunning in the manga. I really like the art style! The same atmosphere from the movie, with all its rain and music, is still present. I enjoyed the big double pages with their beautiful scenes the most! I think that fans of the movie should definitely check out the manga. However, the manga doesn't add anything new to the movie. It is still highly entertaining!
