While on a walk to school, he meets a strange girl named Nagisa Furukawa who is a year older, but is repeating due to illness. Due to this, she is often alone as most of her friends have moved on.

I just finished watching this anime for the first time. I loved it, its been a while since i've watched something that can move me so much. Its funny when it wants to be but i felt so drawn into this tale that at times i had tears in my eyes.
The story and the characters are well thought out. I'd say that its well held together as its more a collection of stories about the other characters held together by the role the main character plays in each one. Only thing i don't understand is how that last episode fits into it all.
