Aria Chapter 60 Discussion

This manga needs to be higher up on the overall ranking. Personal favorite manga.

The last moment of Akari/Ai reminds me of Alicia/Akari moments. These last three chapters made me genuinely tear up, one of my best experiences. 10/10

I'm in love. I will wait a bit with watching the anime,

because I'm afraid I might not love it as much as

the manga if I start immediately.

I sure will purchase this manga as soon as I can,

because it's something I would want to read over

and over again.

Zenryaku, how are you? :)

A delightful read. I did feel like it was a bit boring at first, but honestly, reading the manga gives you a lot of appreciation for why it is the way it is. The slow pace is what makes this manga so great and it took me a while to really understand that.

The best possible conclusion to this manga, I am blown away

Nooo I don't want it to end... T_T



Chapter wise, this was a great read, and concluded the manga in a very gentle yet powerful way. Akari's little speech to herself was something of indescribable beauty; I'm actually at a loss for words. Older Akari's looks a lot more mature and beautiful, but still the cute and... well, "Akari" Akari that we know. ^^ The chapter also threw in a little twist, regarding Akari's penpal. o_o



Manga wise, along with Aqua, this is the most beautiful, unique, and influential manga I've ever read. Definitely something I'll never forget. Many thanks to Amano Kazue for writing this, the scanners, and of course, the memorable and inspiring characters of Aria. *bows*



In the words of Akari: Steki...

Great conclusion, although tbh the romance teasing chapters were disappointing since it in the end it absolutely goes nowhere, except that we only see Akatsuki getting more interested in Akari now. Sort of reminded me of Katachi where the there were teases and form a minor element of the manga, but in the end you can't help but feel a bit more conclusive ending on that aspect could have been more satisfying.



Anyway, talking about its strengths and aspects that actually make Aria great, the worldbuilding is just simply beautiful. The mystical elements add another layer of charm to it, and the readers feel transported to another world while reading it(special mention to the wonderful art for complementing the experience).

Add to this, the main characters receiving slow and sure developments over the whole course of the manga and lots of cathartic moments, and you get a fantastic manga.

Again, the art deserves special mention. In terms of showing the rich worldbuilding, Aria is probably the best manga I have seen which uses its gorgeous art to its fullest extent to capture the charm of Neo-Venezia.



9/10.
