Our Happy Time (Cinta Tak Pernah Salah Memilih Waktu) (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
This is by far THE BEST manga I've ever read!The story captures you with it's sorrow yet slowly drives you to happiness.. It tells you about life.. This plain beautiful life!Juri is in pain because of her past and tries to kill herself three times. Yuu is on death row because he killed three people. He wants to die so badly that he tries to kill himself each day his sentence is not announced. But when those two meet.. and when they connect, something magnificent happens! This story is how we rise by lifting others.. It is deep, sad, heart breaking, yet somehow hopeful and heart warming at the same time. this is the kind of story that touches each of us .. and leaves a mark.I won't write any more about it, you just have to read on your own to indulge.It is just a must read!!!Now just a few quotes.. may have some spoilers!"lately.. I've been scared of time passing.. These days have always just made me remember pain, so I've hated everyone of them.. even so, right now I'm afraid of tomorrow coming.. I wonder why." Juri"It looks like you understand the fear of being left behind." Aunt Monica"I'm the one who's frightened." Juri"I'm afraid.. that when I see her, I'll want to keep on living." Yuu"One more time.. I'd like to hear you play the piano." Yuu"How can you teach people to live .. and then die alone?" Juri"I looked for you.. I looked and looked but I couldn't find you." Yuu"...I knew for the first time how it felt to be happy.. it was something I couldn't obtain living by myself." Yuu I read the adapted to manga version, and I can tell you right now this is an absolute masterpiece. Every word, every phrase speaks to the soul in a very deep and questioning way. It makes you question your own life and those times when you feel as if death is a better choice than living. Everything about this novel/manga is profound and will touch your heart no matter what age, gender or preference. I truly recommend it.

There is a trend here. The last 2 books I read ended the same way. It's quite scary.
