Start your review of Ano How-do-you-do Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai (Ano Hana, #1)

Mari Okada is notorious in anime fandom for being a fantastic writer who frequently lets her own kinks and obsessions have over the story. As it happens, her kinks and obsessions line up with mine, so I don't intendance. In the instance of Ano How-do-you-do Mita no Namae o Bokutachi wa Made Shiranai (We Still Don't Know the Proper name of the Bloom We Saw That Solar day, or merely plain "Ano Hana" for short), her tendencies were held in check by a director who allegedly made her modify a dandy part of the plot, though this didn't stop Mari Okada is notorious in anime fandom for being a fantastic author who oftentimes lets her ain kinks and obsessions take over the story. As it happens, her kinks and obsessions line up with mine, so I don't care. In the case of Ano Howdy Mita no Namae o Bokutachi wa Made Shiranai (Nosotros Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day, or just plain "Ano Hana" for short), her tendencies were held in bank check by a director who allegedly made her modify a great part of the plot, though this didn't terminate her from including the requisite cross-dressing scene. Just if you expect to Okada's novelization expecting a revelation almost what she changed, you'll be disappointed. There's a hint that she wanted to tell virtually childhood friends globe-trotting apart equally they discover that once they grow across running in the forest they don't have anything in common, but that's about it.

The story begins with Jintan, a teenager who attends school simply often plenty non to exist considered a drop-out, sitting in his room playing a video game and wondering if he should take a bath today, when his friend Menma comes in. Now this is very odd seeing equally Menma is v years dead, but she won't leave Jintan lonely until he agrees to grant her wish. This is even more troublesome since she isn't exactly certain what her wish is, except she knows information technology requires all their friends from v years ago to fulfill.

The problem is, after Menma's death in a tragic blow, the friends each blamed themselves for what happened and drifted apart. Jintan went from a straight-A educatee to a loser who barely goes to school; Anaru started hanging out with the sort of trendy girls who wear clothes in appropriate for her historic period; Poppo started working itinerant jobs instead of going to loftier school and takes backpacking trips abroad during off seasons; while Tsuruko and Yukiatsu, the only 2 to remain friends, are attending a preppy private schoolhouse. So now Jintan has to bring these people back together, convince them he'south non delusional, and figure out what Menma's wish is.

This manga was introduced to me past my sister and it just blows my mind, every time I think near it. This was an emotional and powerful ride for me.

Jintan, Menma, Poppo, Anaru, Tsuruko, dan Yukiatsu dulunya adalah enam orang sahabat. Ketika masih kecil, mereka memiliki sekelompok grup bernama Chou Heiwa Basutaa atau Super Peace Buster. Jintan adalah pemimpin mereka, seorang anak lelaki pemberani dan penuh percaya diri. Persahabatan mereka harusnya berlangsung untuk selamanya, hingga pada suatu hari, terjadilah tragedi itu....

Ketika itu, mereka berenam seperti biasa berkumpul di markas rahasia mereka. Tanpa disangka, muncul sebuah pertanyaan

Ketika itu, mereka berenam seperti biasa berkumpul di markas rahasia mereka. Tanpa disangka, muncul sebuah pertanyaan apakah Jintan suka pada Menma. Jintan yang malu karena dibombardir oleh pertanyaan itu oleh teman-temannya menjawab dengan ketus, "Mana mungkin aku suka sama cewek kayak gitu!".

Namun Menma, gadis kecil mungil berambut panjang dan cengeng itu hari itu tidak menangis. Ia hanya tersenyum pedih. Senyuman yang membuat Jintan menyesal dengan kata-katanya. Senyuman yang ternyata adalah hal terakhir yang ia lihat dari sosok Menma...

Jintan tak sempat meminta maaf. Tak sempat mengucapkan satu patah katapun pada Menma. Menma tidak ada keesokan harinya, keesokan minggunya, bahkan hingga tahun-tahun setelahnya. Menma telah tiada. Grup itupun bubar dan semua anggotanya kini berpencar.

Bertahun-tahun kemudian, mereka telah beranjak dewasa. Sudah mau lulus SMA. Jintan yang dulu pemberani dan dikenal sebagai pemimpin, kini menjadi seorang hikikomori, alias nggak mau keluar dari rumah dan nggak mau ke sekolah juga. Ia menjadi seorang remaja tak berguna, kalau saja Menma tidak datang di satu hari di musim panas itu....

Ya, Menma kembali. Meski hanya Jintan yang dapat melihatnya. Menma kembali untuk memenuhi keinginannya. Sayangnya, ia tidak ingat lagi apa keinginannya itu...

Lima orang sahabat yang tersisa, kini hidup bagaikan orang lain. Mereka seolah tidak saling mengenal lagi. Yukiatsu menjadi seorang siswa SMA top dan kelihatan sombong, bahhkan meremehkan Jintan. Tsuruko tampaknya satu sekolah dengan Yukiatsu, dan meskipun terlihat cuek tapi ternyata masih memiliki sifat Tsuruko yang dulu. Anaru sudah nggak mau dipanggil dengan nama panggilan itu lagi, karena artinya yang jorok, tapi masih tetap Anaru yang perhatian pada teman-temannya. Dan Poppo... Hanya Poppo yang percaya pada Jintan bahwa Menma kembali.

Mampukah mereka yang dalam kondisi terpisah ini mewujudkan keinginan terakhir Menma? Apa yang terjadi pada Menma di hari naas itu? Masih ingatkah mereka dengan masa-masa indah ketika masih kecil dulu?

Suka sama ceritanya... >______<

Sangat manis tapi juga sedih. Sedihnya bukan yang bikin berurai air mata, tapi lebih berasa menusuk ke dalam dada... #tsaah

Udah lama ga baca manga genre slice of life begini. Apalagi yang dibalut dalam kisah tragedi. Di buku pertama ini semuanya masih belum terungkap. Masih banyak rahasia. Tapi saya suka dengan semua karakternya. Terutama saya suka sama Poppo dan Menma. Hauhaauu

Oh iya, kalau merasa nama mereka aneh, itu wajar saja. Soalnya, nama mereka ini adalah nama panggilan yang dibuat oleh masing-masing ketika masih kecil dulu. Biasalah, disinipun kita suka bikin nama panggilan yang aneh-aneh di dalam geng kan? Biar berasa kalau kita ini lebih hebat dan lebih keren. Merekapun seperti itu.

Bagian ketika Menma mengunjungi keluarganya, dan melihat ibunya memberikan nasi kare kesukaan Menma di chantry, bener-bener ngenes banget buat saya. Rasanya sedih.... Ibunya Menma katanya memang agak terganggu jiwanya sejak kematian anaknya. Huhuhuuu

Semoga saja keinginan Menma bisa terwujud dan persahabatan enam anak itu bisa kembali lagi seperti dulu, meskipun mereka tak akan pernah bisa mengulang masa lalu....

I wonder why it is categorized as shounen? This manga is about a group of friends (3 boys, ii girls) whose friendship fell apart once one of their friends died. When they were children, they formed some kind of Sentai group, and they were all very close. So Menma died. Years subsequently, her ghost appears to Jintan, who used to exist like the leader of the group. She wants her wish to be fulfilled; simply she tin can't recollect what that wish was. Then slowly, Jintan starts to talk to his former friends once more, I wonder why it is categorized every bit shounen? This manga is almost a group of friends (3 boys, 2 girls) whose friendship fell autonomously one time ane of their friends died. When they were children, they formed some kind of Sentai group, and they were all very close. And then Menma died. Years later, her ghost appears to Jintan, who used to be like the leader of the group. She wants her wish to be fulfilled; only she can't remember what that wish was. Then slowly, Jintan starts to talk to his former friends once more, and although only i of them believe him, eventually they all work to make the wish come up true.

I recall this was a expert, melancholic story. As well bad at that place are only 2 volumes translated. The story deals with friendship, dealing with expiry (not but Menma'due south, but Jintan's female parent as well, a tiny bit), reminiscences, jealousy. How Menma died is never explicit. It is sad to run into this group of friends reacting coldly to each other later many years of not talking (except for Poppo). Some were fifty-fifty hateful to each other. I read that this story made people cry, but I didn't. Yep, it was lamentable, but some parts didn't make sense to me. Weren't they like 7 when Menma died? Then why is that Yukiatsu so obsessed with her? Yes, she was his beat when they were similar vii, however, I don't sympathize why he would be THAT obsessed with her. Not counting he was a picayune bastard towards Jintan, considering of jealousy.

So I liked the group at the starting time, but it disappointed me that there are several crushes inside the group. It would have been much better if it was all based on friendship. Isn't that more a shoujo thing than shounen?

Anyway, the story is not completed still.

This is the outset low-cal novel in the Ano Hana series adapted from the anime of the same name. I read an unofficial translation published online.

I would not recommend this, or at to the lowest degree not this translation, for someone unfamiliar with the anime.

This is the first lite novel in the Ano Hana series adapted from the anime of the same name. I read an unofficial translation published online.

I would non recommend this, or at least not this translation, for someone unfamiliar with the anime. Some of the metaphorical language being used was disruptive and would not have fabricated sense to me if I hadn't watched the anime first and known that past "the personification of lust must not know the other thing is at that place" the narrator ways that Anaru, his childhood friend who now wears short skirts, must non know that the ghost of his dead childhood friend has appeared. Also, sometimes information technology was difficult to know what dialogue was spoken by who - at that place aren't many dialogue markers, since Japanese light novels tend to get out it to word pick to show who'due south speaking rather than adding "he said she said" at the cease, but most of these speech patterns don't translate well into English language. The merely cues that are preserved to some extent in this translation are the names/nicknames the characters call each other, but even these change at various points to prove how the characters' relationships have inverse.

If you Accept seen the anime, though, this was nonetheless an enjoyable read. And I'm sure if yous're fluent in Japanese and can read the original version of this book, it would be enjoyable regardless.
