Masterpiece.
It is very rare to find a series in which the story, characters, and execution are all excellent. And a masterful ending at that?
Brilliant.
Even the title made perfect sense. Every single part of the story contributed to its conclusion. I can talk about this all day, but it would not justify how beautiful it all is. I'm writing with tears running down my chin.
Nagi's line near the end was translated wrong. She actually said, "It's not like I want to be Arima-sensei's piano, okay!? So cliche!" She wanted to be manipulated by those expert fingers, and who can blame her?
Kaori, you won't only live in the hearts of the characters, but the viewers of this heartrending yet warming story. I, for one, will never forget you. I'd rather you appear as a ghost before me than that.
