Story Summary

he novel opens in a summer afternoons. Jinta Yadomi used to be the kind of lively kid and now he is leading a lonely life, separated by the society. He sees suddenly the spirit of his childhood friend Meiko Menma Honma, who was killed in an accident few years ago. Menma holds something that she wants, and she has not yet gotten it, and that is the reason why the girl could not leave the world. but she herself is ignorant of the wish.

To ensure the restlessness of Menma spirit some of his old friends are brought back together slowly by Jinta they include, Anaru, Yukiatsu, Tsuruko and Poppo. They used to be a group of friends and were called, the Super Peace Busters. However, all the friends became separated after the death of Menma with each one claiming to be guilty of her death.

Little by little, previous thoughts come back, misconception
s are resolved, and all of them are presented with their grief, sadness, and guilt. They all make an attempt at following out the wish of Menma, and towards the end, they do; Menma gets peace, and says goodbye to the sky.

This anime does not only serve to be the tale of releasing the soul of a friend but also represent self-cleaning and restoration of relationships. It is worth remembering due to amazing summer mood, great music, and touching story. Anohana instructs us- friendship is something that can be lost, but people can always reunite because of love and forgiveness.

I have some feelings about watching Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day.

‎Anohana helps me learn that grief does not only mean the crying that has affected a person at the deepest level in the long-term. We usually believe that time has a magic to heal everything but this anime proves us that when the guilt, unsolved relations, and unspoken words are not well confronted, the wound would never recover.

‎It also makes me understand what a treasure friendship is. The loss of childhood friends, the people we used to have the best of times together with, can serve as the strengths in our lives as well as the weaknesses. I felt so emotional as I was watching the anime. I especially could not keep my tears back in the two final episodes. The way the characters expressed their feelings was so genuine that I became with them.

‎It was an unmatched emotional experience through Menma smile, Poppo guilt and his pain hidden by Anaru. The masterpiece Anohana. It is the evidence that anime is not mere amusement but the forceful way to show great life and emotions. It is realistic with characters, and this tale is emotional with a touching presentation.

‎I believe every person, who has ever lost something in life or lost the old friends must watch this anime, at least, once. It is not only a tear jerker but a silent means of ridding themselves and unburdening.
‎Anohana, causes me to believe that the greatest emotions in our life are love, friendship, and forgiveness. Not all the losses are fixable, yet there is always love--it stayed in your mind, in the memory and in the sounds of crickets in a summer afternoon.

‎If anyone has seen this, please comment below and share your thoughts. We can discuss this great story together.

‎Thank you everyone! 😊

This point is so relatable. Indeed time alone does not heal.

This made me remember situations that played out in my life years ago. If only they were confronted and spoken about, I would have been completely healed by now. I am still affected by incident that happened years ago.

Thanks for putting this amazing piece. You write well
