The manga spin-off to the acclaimed anime film about surfing, summer love, grief, and a hint of magic. Surfer girl Hinako is full of confidence when she’s out on the ocean, but when it come to everything else in her life, she second-guesses herself. After a fire breaks out, she meets a firefighter named Minato and the two fall quickly in love. When tragedy strikes and separates the young couple, Hinako feels lost and directionless. But soon, Hinako discovers that Minato is determined to overcome any obstacle to stay by her side. The heart-tugging manga adaptation that goes beyond the hit anime film!

The art was cute, and the characters were sweet! The premise was interesting, I liked the potential. 

The pacing was off for me, it felt like I was rushed through the storyline. Scenes went from one to the other pretty abruptly, so their relationship didn’t feel very fleshed out to me.

I feel like I should have probably watched the anime prior to reading this. The story was really short and brief. I think that if the bonus stories at the end were incorporated into the actual story that it would have been a bit more developed. It felt like the story jumped very abruptly from one moment to the next. Maybe I'll watch the anime to see how I like it.
