This was really good. I would say the anime (which came first) is better, but this is pretty damn close. Got all the tunes stuck in my head again and all the emotions came back. I consider this my favorite anime.

For those who haven't watched the show, I'd do that before read this. I mean you don't have too, but the ending makes more sense. Don't be fooled by the cover because this quickly becomes a Camus-like story. ( )
