There's so much more value to this manga, and I wish people could see it more than just people "painting themselves as victims," as another user would say. I think its trying to depict an aspect of living through a war and leaving behind your friends and family. Its about valuing their memories together and treasuring them even through their final moments. This manga is made to make one reflect on life and to look at these experiences while we listen to another persons story. This is why I love it so much.
