Summer breeze

 I must say I knew how the story ended way back before that, though (because I was desperate, asked, and someone told me, lol). I still was in denial that THAT was the ending. Then the Spanish license was announced, and I waited to get my hands on the last volume (which in Spanish is volume 10, because they released the Bundo-ban edition), and at this point I had been waiting years for this; I knew what was coming, and I actually thought the ending was "Fitting." Bettter said, I thought it was realistic for the story, but I still didn't like it.

That was almost four years ago. When I read the story for the first time, I was the same age as the characters, fourteen. I'm not a 14-year-old teen with unsupervised internet access anymore; I'm a 20-year-old with a slightly more developed frontal lobe (wait for my kazeki rereading when I turn 25). 

 Now, why am I saying all of this in my silly little post about me the first volume? Because this is also my first time reading the full story without time gaps of waiting for translations AND the first time reading it all in Spanish (which is my first language). Tragedy back to back, good for me. This last part has actually been really impactful in my reading. Kazeki was notorious for being passed around scalation groups, and the first scans are well, not the best (yet not the worst; I'll forever be grateful for those first scans of the manga), so it's easy to miss some details in Keiko’s artwork (Kurt fans, you know what I mean if you own the volumes), and it's been overall more easy to read; the story feels more coherent somehow it gives me a better understanding of everything, and I'm actually comparing the English and Spanish translation as I read. And its kind of crazy how the vibes change, i guess because of the words and phrasings in some parts of the spanish one, I resonate a little more with it.
