Mm. Why is it, that I feel so useless after reading this =)..
The name of the manga, is Suzuka. You can find it here : http://www.onemanga.com/Suzuka/

I spent the majority of my past 2 days reading it. The conclusion of the story, somewhat unexpected, given the way the story was going in the beginning.
In my opinion, it's a nice depiction of how fast things can fade in an instant, and how far and how, you, are willing to give up whatever you have and go, to salvage whatever is worth living for. In addition to that, I also think it has an underlying message of how love of someone or something can manifest itself in an individual, and live on in his/her veins as a symbolism of loyalty, faith, and the fact that true love in itself is undying, in this case, Yamato and running.
Anyway, back on track. Occurences like these, are not uncommon in reality. "Suzuka" gives us an insight, however small it may be, into the hardships that may be faced by individuals like them; how they deal with such rapid changes from the lives they had before; how your life can spiral deep down into the abyss from heaven on earth itself. But bliss exists everywhere, as you only have to believe in it for it to show up. The only question poised: are you willing to carry yourself with confidence when that spiral begins to pull you in?
I came to realise many things, as I was reading through "Suzuka". But in my opinion, the most important one of them all, that I have heard repeatedly for a long time, but never really pondered it's meaning is that- it doesn't matter what others think are important, or what others are happy doing; at the end of the day, like the concluding chapter of a novel, or the first blooming flowerbud at the end of winter, it's what's important to yourself, and what makes you happy, that is worth more than your life, your world and your future all put together.
Maybe it's just what these stories are for. Fabricated, dramatized, and then simply thrown onto paper to be passed on to the world.. But for what it's worth, if we learn something useful from it, then it's always a good story, isn't it? ^^v.
