Best wishes for animation production

Liu Xiuming enthusiastically copied the network disk link, opened the browser, and downloaded the comics that Gu Xue uploaded to the network disk in a few minutes.

After successfully decompressing it, he opened it with great anticipation.

First of all, the first thing that catches your eyes is the cherry blossoms all over the sky.

"Comics?" Liu Xiuming looked at the decompressed comics and felt a little disappointed for some reason.

The thought of why it wasn't Gu Xuemei flashed through his mind...

"It's called... five centimeters per second? Gu Xue, the supervisor, is really a painting madman, and he can also draw comics!"

Although he was disappointed, although it was not a beautiful photo of Gu Xue, it was downloaded and opened. Liu Xiuming felt that it would be a loss if he didn't take a look. Moreover, he was an original animator himself and liked the animation that Gu Xue was responsible for. He There is no reason not to be interested in the comics drawn by Gu Xue.

"Wow... this painting is too exaggerated."

Liu Xiuming scrolled down and sighed at Gu Xue's drawing ability. At the same time, he didn't miss the plot, but he didn't take it seriously.

At the beginning of the comic, the picture is stunning, but the plot is very bland. It is probably about two elementary school students talking about the speed of falling cherry blossoms and their agreement to see the cherry blossoms together next year.

It's a short plot similar to memories.

It's not exciting enough to attract the attention of an old two-dimensional character like Liu Xiuming.

Liu Xiuming continued to scroll down, wanting to see where the upper limit of Gu Xue's drawing ability was.

In terms of plot.

At this time, he still felt it didn't matter...

The first story of the manga is called [Sakura Copy].

The two elementary school students who appeared at the beginning, Guishu and Akari, have grown up.

Because of Akari's move, the two were separated.

The summer of my first year in high school.

Takaki began to receive letters from Akari...the girl who held an umbrella and smiled with him in elementary school and agreed to watch the cherry blossoms together next year.

Next, he kept in touch with Akari by sending one letter a month.

The first story unfolds from the perspective of the male protagonist, with large landscape paintings and letters written by the female protagonist Mingri to the male protagonist mixed in and narrated.

The period is interspersed with some of the male protagonist's daily life at school. He struggles to adapt to a world without Akari, and enjoys the happiness of being able to express his feelings to each other when he receives a letter from Akari.

But that winter, Guishu also had to transfer to another school.

If they were to move to a distant place, he and Akari would be farther apart than they are now. They would no longer be able to meet each other by taking a train if they wanted to meet each other, and they might never be able to meet again.

So Guishu decided to take the tram to Akari's station after school to meet her.

But on the day Guishu and Akari agreed to meet, it began to snow heavily in the afternoon...

Liu Xiuming: "..."

He said that the plot didn't matter, but after actually watching it, he was still inevitably attracted by the plot.

He sat upright and continued reading.

Although it was snowing heavily, Guishu still took the tram resolutely.

While transferring, he recalled how he met Akari in elementary school.

Both of them are transfer students. Both of them are thin, get sick easily, and are not good at sports, so they both like to stay alone in the library, and they naturally become close to each other.

After getting along for a while, the two became irreplaceable in their minds.

They both thought they would go to the same middle school as each other and would always be together.

But all this.

It all ended because of Akari changing schools again.

The male protagonist recalled how he felt when he received a call from Akari and learned that she was going to transfer to another school. Akari breathed out a sigh of relief as she said sorry with tears in her eyes.

In reality, the tram she wanted to transfer to was delayed due to snow...

This is not the worst.

Due to the chain reaction of delays, the time Guishu took to stop at the stops became longer and longer...

And the time he and Akari agreed to meet had already passed...

"..."

Liu Xiuming was completely drawn into the plot.

The comic depicts the uneasy male protagonist on the train with great detail and arouses empathy.

Hazy love.

long wait.

It really touches the softness deep inside people.

Liu Xiuming couldn't stop his fingers at all.

He could no longer hear the sound coming from the television.

He was somewhat eager to know that the male protagonist Guishu had arrived at his destination and met Akari.

But he turned down many pages and couldn't get the result he wanted. He could only become more and more uneasy with the male protagonist.

And the most distressing thing is.

Because the snowfall disrupted the original schedule, the tram stopped in the empty wilderness for two hours.

Guishu was restless for two whole hours.

[At this time, even one minute felt very long to me. However, time slowly and ruthlessly slipped away from me. I gritted my teeth and could only hold back from crying. Akari, if only you had gone home... 】

Watching the male protagonist's inner monologue, Liu Xiuming felt particularly depressed.

But the good thing is.

All the waiting and suffering is worth it.

The hero arrived at the station where Akari was.

It's late though.

But Akari didn't go back.

The two met in the waiting room, with the hot boiler and warm air. Guishu was eating the food that Mingli had brought. Mingli couldn't hide the excitement in her heart as she looked at him.

The two chatted with each other about topics that might seem boring to adults, but they were warm and cozy.

Then, the two left the waiting room and exchanged their first kiss under a cherry blossom tree that had not yet bloomed.

Throughout the whole process, the emotions of young boys and girls were vividly expressed.

Liu Xiuming sighed and laughed, feeling it was worth it.

The suffering just now is no longer worth mentioning.

Because the manga depicts that hazy emotion really well.

Liu Xiuming is preparing for the ending.

But the comic is not over yet.

Guishu and Akari spent the night resting in the warehouse near the field.

Guishu took the morning train and said goodbye to Akari...

Neither of them sent out the letter they originally wanted to give to each other... In the end, all they left for each other was a hasty blessing and a promise to contact each other.

Liu Xiuming was silent for a moment and continued to scroll down.

The second story is called [Astronaut].

Guishu has transferred to the distant Kagoshima.

The second story is even more depressing.

Guishu, who has been editing text messages but never sent them to Akari, planned to express his love to Guishu when he could stand up again while surfing. He worked hard to practice surfing, but in the end he found that Guishu didn't like him at all and could not tolerate it. The flower seedlings that live in confession...

The girl you have a crush on.

Because of the distance, Takaki no longer knew what to say to Akari, and eventually lost contact with her.

The two of them looked up and watched the rocket take off.

That feeling of loneliness.

It's really indescribable.

Liu Xiuming's expression became a little anxious. As he watched the last scene of the second story, he suddenly felt that the screen of his mobile phone was too small.

He picked up the iPad on the table and replaced it with a larger screen.

Only then did the anxiety inside me ease.

The third story is the same as the title.

It’s called [Five Centimeters per Second].

The male protagonist Guishu has grown up and works. He leads a busy life. In these busy days, the distinction between seasons and years becomes ambiguous, and several years pass by without even realizing it. During this period, he always wanted to forget some unforgettable feelings in his heart, so he kept working, but in the end, he found that he was just living numbly...

So before spring came, he resigned.

The heroine Akari also appears.

She said goodbye to her parents at the station. The parents were a little reluctant to part with each other and thought it would be nice to spend New Year's Day together with Akari.

But Akari smiled and told them: It doesn't matter, we will meet at the wedding next month, don't worry.

She is getting married soon...

[Yesterday, I had a dream, a dream from a long time ago. In the dream, we were only thirteen years old...]

Guishu and Mingli live in the same city, but have never met each other.

The perspective of the manga switches between Takaki and Akari.

They all have their own lives, but they talk about the same dream and recall bits and pieces of the past together.

The disappointment when you open the mailbox and find that you haven’t received a letter from the other person, the loneliness when you are alone, the excitement when you occasionally see a familiar figure, the disappointment when you look carefully and find that it is not the other person...

Everything.

It all became a dream in their mouths.

…

Shortly after.

The air slowly grew warmer.

Spring is coming.

On a day when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, Guishu saw the cherry blossoms floating in from the window, turned off the computer, and put on his coat.

Akari, who is already married, also received a cherry blossom petal on the balcony and changed her clothes.

The two of them were walking down the street.

And on the railway, we passed each other.

Guishu suddenly thought of Akari, whom he had not seen for many years, and slowly turned around.

Akari also sensed this and turned around slowly.

Their eyes met.

At the moment when my heart and memory are about to boil.

The tram passing by quickly blocked the two of them.

The tram roars by.

Guishu looked at the tram and remained silent.

Wait for the train to pass.

Akari on the other side of the railway has disappeared.

Only the cherry blossoms are left.

Guishu was stunned.

Then he smiled with relief, turned around and left.

The place where the two of them stayed.

The scenery remains the same.

When they were young, they agreed to watch the cherry blossoms together next year.

Exactly the same.

…

Liu Xiuming looked at the last scene of the comic, moved his thumb slowly, and pulled down.

A word appeared on the iPad screen.

【end】

He was stunned.

long time.

It wasn't until his sister Liu Xiumin finished watching the variety show that something was wrong with him and called him out that he came back to his senses.

Then.

Snapped.

A tear fell on the iPad.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you!?" Liu Xiumin panicked.

Did you make your brother cry while watching a variety show?

No way?

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!! F******WOW!!!"

I heard my sister's concern.

Liu Xiuming raised her head and burst into tears.

He covered his forehead, desperately trying to suppress the sadness in his heart, but the more he suppressed, the more uncomfortable he became.

In the end, just leave it alone.

He cried louder and louder.

Snot and tears spurted out together, I was very embarrassed.

A real macho man sheds tears.

"Hey! What's wrong with you! Talk!"

Liu Xiumin was really panicked.

Liu Xiuming pointed to the iPad on the table.

"What? Comics!?"

Liu Xiumin picked up the iPad and took a look, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"You can look down on it! I don't need you to understand! What kind of ending is this? Why?" Liu Xiuming did not confront her sister tit for tat. Instead, she cried and complained about the comics.

"Anyway, Gu Xue is not my wife today! She is my enemy today... Damn... I am not done with her! Ugh..."

Liu Xiumin: "..."

Look at my brother like this.

She suddenly became interested in this comic...

What kind of comics can make people like this?

With curiosity in mind.

Liu Xiumin temporarily abandoned her brother who started talking nonsense about his wife, sat aside and read comics.

Half an hour later.

Mother Liu opened the door and walked in carrying large and small bags of New Year's goods. As soon as she entered the door, she started talking about her two children.

"Xiumin! Xiuming! Shuangxiu! You two won't come to help, so you know..."

But halfway through.

Mother Liu noticed something was wrong.

A pair of his own children were sitting in the living room with mournful expressions on their faces, still shedding tears silently...

Wow.

The bag Mother Liu was carrying fell to the ground.

What to do! What to do! !

New Year’s Eve! ! !

Mother Liu was shocked and doubtful about life.

Today, Mother Liu is far from the only one who doubts life...

Maybe I won’t be able to write it tomorrow... Just think of this chapter as being updated tomorrow, okay?
