review:
'Weathering With You, Vol. 1' by Makoto Shinkai with art by Wataru Kubota us a manga about a young man who runs away to Tokyo and the odd characters he meets along the way.

Hodaka runs away for his own reasons to the big city of Tokyo. Along the way, he meets a man who helps him out, but seems suspiciously shady. He is helped out by a young woman named Hina who feeds him. He discovers in Hina a strange gift she has to dry up the rain and make the sun come out. How their relationship develops is the main plot of this volume.

I liked the story, and didn't realize there was a movie. I felt like the story meandered a bit and introduced things that aren't that important to the main plot, at least not so far. I liked the art also. Hina is definitely a more interesting character than Hodaka at this point.

I received a review copy of this manga from Kodansha USA and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
