Me~teru no Kimochi

It is my first time writing review,i never thought i would bother doing this bit this manga made me. I read a lot of manga's and i they made me feel all sort of differet emotions but this one crushed me. It started great,i had really lot of expectation but the end screw me up. I read that a lot of people said the ending is fair,it was for the best but it hurts like hell. Anyway read it let me know what ypu think i really wants someone to badmouth this manga. PEACE

GREAT ENDING. MAGNIFICENT ENDING. THIS MANGA STARTED AS A COMPLETE GARBAGE INTO A GOLDEN TREASURE. I LOVE COMEBACK STORIES LIKE THIS. THE FEELING OF DESPERATION LEADING INTO DELUSSIONS, AND THAT DELUSSIONS FUELING HIMSELF TO LEAP FOR A BETTER FUTURE. BEAUTIFUL STORY. With the right mindset this manga are very enjoyable IF you read it untill the end straight up from the start to finish. The story of this manga are very well constructed and the ending are just GREAT. The story were not about the "CHARACTERS" so don't think too much about it into the characters in this show. This story is about the "STORY" on how peoplecan CHANGE and that's the beauty of this short manga with 28 Chapters.

*Esta review también está en español* This story is not for everyone. It starts badly, it develops worse and the end is heartbreaking. But its last moments are what make this manga a hidden gem. The concept of hikkikomori already had a very good perspective with Welcome to NHK, where the sense of humor and comedy was the strong point of the work. But now, we are faced with a darker situation, which surrounds the tragedy from start to finish. The text below has plot details. Me~teru no Kimochi is not a work that revolves around the Hikkikomori. It's a play about Haruka, the mother. From the beginning, themanga tells us about how she seeks having a role of protection, of being the person who cares for others. And she bases her romantic relationships on fulfilling that need to care. She so she did with Shintarou's father, who is a sad old man, whom she can heal. They get married, he dies and she can't fully cure him. And therefore, she cannot fulfill her own purpose either. So she goes to the source of her husband's illness, his son. Her mission is not complete until she manages to get Shintarou out of the room, out of the house, out of the sedentary lifestyle. In the process, she finds out that this is also healing Shintarou, so she once again takes on the role of caretaker and falls in love with him. The ending is brutal, but necessary. Haruka understands that her stay at Shintarou's house is not going to achieve anything. She says goodbye to him without saying it, just having sex. She will watch over him from a distance, she tells him. And she does. There are panels on the last chapter where we see Shintarou failing in his jobs and she watches him from afar. And in the end, the reunion is not a "they lived happily ever after", it is a final goodbye. Haruka turns in tears to finally turn her back on him. "I took care of you, I loved you and I healed you." She understands her ultimate sacrifice, to heal the man she loves, is to get away from Shintarou. And he understands it too, and finally thanks her, "Thank you mother". The work is not perfect, it is far from it. But the intention of the mangaka is perfectly embodied in his work. The fanservice, the erotic scenes or the lewd moments play against it, but in a certain way it is necessary for the construction of the message. I would have liked to see more of Shintarou's adventure and pain after Haruka's disappearance. --- Esta historia no es para cualquiera. Empieza mal, se desarrolla peor y el final es desgarrador. Pero sus últimos momentos son lo que hacen de este manga una joya oculta. El concepto del hikkikomori ya tuvo una muy buena perspectiva con Welcome to NHK, donde el sentido del humor y la comedia fue el fuerte de la obra. Pero ahora, nos enfrentamos a una situación más oscura, que rodea la tragedia de inicio a final. A continuación, el texto tiene detalles del argumento. Me~teru no Kimochi no es una obra que gire en torno al Hikkikomori protagonista. Es una obra sobre Haruka, la madre. Desde el principio, nos cuenta sobre cómo ella busca tener un rol de protección, de ser la persona que cuida a otros. Y basa sus relaciones románticas en cumplir con esa necesidad de cuidar. Así lo hizo con el padre de Shintarou, que es un hombre viejo y triste, a quien ella puede curar. Se casan, él muere pero ella no logra curarlo del todo. Y por lo tanto, tampoco puede cumplir con su propio proposito. Así que acude a la fuente de la enfermedad de su marido, su hijo. Su misión no está completa hasta que logre sacar a Shintarou de la habitación, de la casa, del sedentarismo. En el proceso, descubre que eso también es curar a Shintarou, por lo que vuelve a tomar el rol de cuidadora y se enamora de él. El final es brutal, pero necesario. Haruka entiende que su estadia en casa de Shintarou no va a lograr nada. Se despide de él sin decirlo, solo teniendo sexo. Lo cuidará desde la distancia, le dice. Y lo hace. Hay paneles del último capítulo donde vemos a Shintarou fracasando en sus empleos y ella lo observa de lejos. Y al final, el reencuentro no es un "vivieron felices por siempre", es un despido final. Haruka voltea en lágrimas para finalmente darle la espalda. "Te cuidé, te amé y te curé." Pero Haruka entiende que el sacrificio final, para curar a los hombres que ama, es alejarse de Shintarou. Y él también lo entiende, y finalmente le agradece. "Gracias madre". La obra no es perfecta, está lejos de serlo. Pero la intención del mangaka está perfectamente plasmada en su trabajo. El fanservice, las escenas eroticas o los momentos lascivos le juegan en contra, pero de cierta forma es necesario para la construcción del mensaje. Me hubiera gustado ver más de la aventura y dolor de Shintarou después de la desaparición de Haruka.
