This is my first review and I was waiting for the right manga/ anime to start with. Akaku Saku Koe is a refreshing story plot. The series is shorter, which sometimes can make the story telling harder. In shorter series it either rises to the challenge or fails. This manga definitely rose to the challenge and suceeded in staying true to the plot and keeping interest. The theme came across well, a gift can be a curse but people in your life can influence you for the good. The plot progresses well and the characters' change and growth moves well. Thisstory is definitely a character study. It centers around the character's emotions and reactions to events.

The art is clean and beautiful. It has a unique feel but at the same time the character design is simple.

Though some of the plots seem to be redundant the story is enjoyable. Because of the redundancy you can see the main character act differently and grow from one scenario to the next.

So, This review probably was too long for a shorter series, please bare with me since it's my first review.
