Didn’t really know what to make of this one, and thus was pondering whether to watch it. In the end my curiosity got the better of me, and I’m glad about it.

Would have been pretty sad if I had missed this little gem, since it’s a real piece of art.

It is about a school-girl that lives on books. Literally, since she eats them. One day she finds a story which makes her fall in love with it, and soon after it’s becoming a great hit. But then she finds out that the author won’t write any more stories, only to see that he changed to her school.
It’s about the beauty of novels and poems, the scene when she first reads “Resembling the Sky” is one of the most beautiful scenes I’ve seen in a long time.

I think many people won’t like this show, or at least won’t find it as intriguing as did. It’s very slow-paced, gentle and sorta slice-of-life, though without the usual comedy found in these. Style and story will probably not be too interesting for many people, but it’s well worth a try.

There’s also going to be a movie of this later on, I think this time from the perspective of the young guy who wrote “Resembling the Sky”. There’s some sort of preview or trailer out for this already, though I didn’t watch that yet (I’ll wait for the movie).

If you can appreciate a little story about literature and the beauty that can be found in there, or just like the artstyle of this, you’ll very probably enjoy this.
If you’re looking for action or some exciting story you’ll just as likely be bored, though I’d still advice you to at least give this a try.
