Manga Review 15 Cherry Blossoms

I'm back at it with those super short manga reviews because I'm pretty addicted to short-lived thrills. It makes me sound like a total adrenaline junkie when I put it like that but I really just mean that I get excited by food and stuff. I got you didn't I? Anyways, onto the review!!! Forward march!

{Spoilers but not really because it's seven nuanced chapters sooooo there's not much to spoiled unless I wanted to get nitty gritty...which I could do I suppose}

Well this is a perfect example of the term "short and sweet." It's a lucky seven chapters that aren't very long. What makes it both a quick and complex read is the lack of dialogue. There's a lot of emphasis put on the drawings themselves and the simple movements they contain which help move the story along. It follows a high school boy coming to terms with the concept of finite time and young love. It's kind of funny because the running motif of this is the title itself: cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms are known for being transient, there one day and gone the next. This could be interpreted in many ways for this manhwa. It could be seen as foreshadowing of their relationship, the impermanence of feelings, the quickness of the passing of time; really it could be anything if you stretch your mind far enough. So, if you haven't caught on yet, while it isn't a very long read, it'll keep you thinking about it for a long time after. It's one of those unexpected insights into the human condition.

For this reason, this poignant philosophical quality, I definitely recommend that you read this manhwa. Visually it's so simplistic which gives you more time to focus upon the content and leave you wanting more. The ending is such a bittersweet kiss...but I hope from the depths of my heart that they all end up happy.

Do you see the promo for the creator's past Webtoon there?

If you look closely you can see little cherry blossom buds and I think that's beautiful

It's beautiful but I wonder why he's always alone

The street vendor is kind of my favorite character.

Besides it being about love, it also has a social message about littering :?

There's a slow progression of the cherry blossoms blooming through the piece that kind of shows the acceleration of time. 

Sure it's not the most eloquent thing, but didn't your heart clench just a little?
