Sasha and Ariel Experience ... so ... many ... tears ...

Ariel: Are we recovered enough to do this?
Sasha: I don't know, but Claire shoved the laptop at me and said it was our turn to blog, so here we are.
Ariel: Uh-huh. But if we're not recovered enough, we could blog about a different thing we've experienced and not ... sniff ...
Sasha: Don't start crying! You're going to make me cry too!
Ariel: I can't help it, it was just so sad!
Sasha: Yeah, but if you're crying all over the place and saying how sad it was, that's totally spoiling the fact that it was sad, because we haven't told our readers to put on their spoiler blankets.
Ariel: Well ... but I think we need to make an exception for this one, because if they don't know it's sad beforehand, they might read it thinking it's going to be happy, and then they'll be so sad that it's soooo saaaad! Blawwhhh!
Sasha: Come on, get ahold of yourself! After we blew it so bad last time blogging about Loomboo, we can't have another of these blog posts where we don't actually say anything about the thing we're posting about!
Ariel: We already did say something about it ... it's SAD.
Sasha: But people don't even know what it is yet. We have to at least say the title.
Ariel: I can't. You do it.
Sasha: Fine, okay. Um ... we, uh, read ... this ... uh ...
Ariel: See?! You can't say it either!
Sasha: WereadthismangacalledTheSummerYouWereThere! There, I did it.
Ariel: BWAAAHHH!
Sasha: ... gk ...
Ariel: (sob!)
Sasha: hff ... hff ... whhh ...
Ariel: sniff ... bluh ... we need to ... just shut the computer ... before we get it so wet and teary it short circuits ...
Sasha: No. Woosh .... Deep breaths. Here, have a hanky. We've got to get through this.
Ariel: I need two.
Sasha: Here.
Ariel: Actually now I think I need two more.
Sasha: I don't have any more. Do you want me to get you a whole towel?
Ariel: no, that's okay.
Sasha: You don't sound like it, but all right. So ... what I think we need to do is try talking about all the parts of the manga that were beautiful and sweet and cute and even uplifting.
Ariel: But those parts were sad too!
Sasha: No they weren't -- I mean, not all of them anyway.
Ariel: Name one!
Sasha: Um ... like ... well, it wasn't sad when Kaori started their relationship off with that wacky idea.
Ariel: Waaaahhhhh, you said her name!!!!
Sasha: Look, I really think we ought to tell people to put their spoiler blankets on, if even just one of the characters' name makes you bawl like that.
Ariel: you tell them, i can't.
Sasha: Yeesh. Okay, people, put your spoiler blankets on if you don't want things spoiled about The Summer You Were --
Ariel: DOOMED.
Sasha: What?
Ariel: We always make up our own names and titles for things, and I think we need to just be honest and call this story The Summer You Were DOOMED.
Sasha: Don't you think that's a little over the top? I mean, even just thinking a little about the fact that it's called The Summer You Were There will make most people realize it's implying that whoever the "you" is, they aren't there anymore.
Ariel: It doesn't have to imply that! Maybe, maybe it could be talking about "you" being "there" while whoever the "me" person is, is like "over here." And then after the summer ends they might be in the same place instead of one being here and the other being there.
Sasha: But you see them together on literally page one.
Ariel: I know, but ... at least you would have that blank page between the title on the cover and the first page of the story to think maybe it was going to be a happy story.
Sasha: I mean ... but if you really think about it, it was at least a partly happy story.
Ariel: WHAT!!!!!
Sasha: Sheesh! Don't shake me like that -- you're going to pop a button off my shirt.
Ariel: I just don't know how you could even say it was a partly happy story.
Sasha: Because of the last line of the story? And then especially because of the epilogue?
Ariel: Wait. What do you mean?
Sasha: Just that, well, in the epilogue --
Ariel: There was an EPILOGUE?!?
Sasha: Omg, Aers. You were right there with me when we got to the end.
Ariel: Yeah, but then I was crying so loud ...
Sasha: Really? So you didn't see me turning the pages on the Kindle through any of that whole extra chapter.
Ariel: Well I was also squirting so many tears out of my eyes ...
Sasha: But then I'm pretty sure I went on and on about how amazed I was for at least five minutes!
Ariel: And you didn't notice me ugly crying so much I couldn't say anything back to you that whole time? I can't believe you didn't stop me and tell me there was an epilogue!
Sasha: Look, I was crying a lot too even though it was beautiful.
Ariel: Stop it, you big liar.
Sasha: No, seriously. Here, look, I'll get it to the right place. There. That's the start of the epilogue.
Ariel: ...
Ariel: ...
Ariel: ...
Ariel: ...
Ariel: BWWAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! It's so beautiful!!! Glaarghlll ... !
Sasha: Okay, folks. I guess that better be enough for tonight.
Sasha: (But seriously, you should probably read this manga if you don't mind a tear-jerkery kind of story!)
