Sand Chronicle is one of the manga that made me cant stop reading when I started. This manga tells about a girl named Ann who returns to her hometown with her mother. After a few days in her hometown her depressed mother finally disappeared and was found to have committed suicide. Her mothers death had a major impact on Anns character in the future. When she was sad because of her mothers death there was a boy Daigo who helped Ann to rise from adversity. long story short they both end up falling in love and dating each other. However their happiness did not last long when Anns father came and asked Ann to live with him in Tokyo so that a longdistance relationship between Ann and Daigo began which would later be faced with many obstacles. Sand Chronicles in my opinion is one of the most realistic manga Ive ever read. how they deal with longdistance relationships and the arrival of a third person and how they deal with their respective traumas are well written and feel real. In Sand Chronicles we have 3 characters that are often highlighted. First there is the protagonist of this story Ann. Ann is quite an interesting character we are shown her struggles in making decisions and obstacles in her relationship with Daigo. Her character development is also quite good she was initially traumatized and afraid of losing her favorite person due to her mothers death in the past finally managed to move on and keep looking forward who at first always depended on others finally able to be independent. The next character is Daigo. Daigo is Anns childhood friend and first love. Daigo is a kind and loyal man even when Anns actions hurt him he remains firm on his feelings for ann. You could say Daigo is my favorite character in this manga. why? because his characters are very realistic and different from the male leads in other shoujo manga. hes not the typical bad boy or playboy nor is he a popular guy. just an ordinary boy who is kind and loyal to ann. The next character is Fuji who is the third person in Ann and Daigos relationship. I hate this person. He is your typical male lead shoujo who is rich handsome but has a dark past. You could say that the root of all the problems that occur in this manga comes from Fujis cowardly and arbitrary actions. Fuji is a coward he takes the opportunity when Ann and Daigos relationship is strained. Overall I enjoyed this manga. its frustrating yet I cant stop reading until finished the rest of the manga. Im so satisfied with the ending maybe it feels a bit rushed. but its not a problem anymore because all of the conflicts have been cleared. for anyone who looking for a story with a realistic relationship then this manga is for you.
