not even a soul wants this books to be adapted. the books means so much to a lot of people, because we all have at least one character we can identify with, someone we can feel understood by. not a single actor will be able to portray all the problems and trauma each character has. qnd on top of that, they promote the series by saying it's going to be a romance, when it's not, because all of us readers who connect with this series know that it represents much more than that.
The fact that people including the author are agreeing to this adaptation is honestly concerning. This isn’t just some random romance you can water down for aesthetics. This series was written for people who struggled. People who saw themselves in those pages. It covers severe, complex mental health issues that are raw, ugly, uncomfortable, and deeply personal. That is not something you squeeze into eight Prime Video episodes and call it a day. Eight episodes cannot and will not do justice to the depth of trauma, healing, and complexity these characters carry. Either it’ll be watered down, overly dramatized, or worse romanticized. And we all know how these platforms work. I can already see edits of Shannon’s dad under Lana Del Rey songs, people glamorizing abuse, turning pain into aesthetics. That’s exactly what this story was never meant to be. This fandom was built on shared pain. On readers who felt seen. Who understood the nausea, the heaviness, the silence between the lines. The books worked because they gave us space to sit with that pain safely. A glossy TV adaptation risks turning something sacred into entertainment. And let’s talk about the company. Out of all platforms Amazon? A corporation known for prioritizing profit over people? Not everything needs to be monetized. Not every powerful story needs to become “content.” There’s also the casting issue. You cannot replicate the energy readers built in their minds. These characters are complex, layered, morally messy. One wrong casting choice and the entire emotional weight collapses. This story wasn’t meant to be consumed casually. It wasn’t written to trend. It was written to heal. Not everything needs to be turned into a show. Not everything needs to be sold. Some stories deserve to stay protected
the brazilian community wants this story to continue
This anime is a massive hit in Brazil. Everyone here who follows the plot considers it a masterpiece, and it has become a staple for the local fans. Hearing that the series is coming to an end is a heavy blow to those of us who have followed it for so long.
The collection of signatures from Brazilian fans shows exactly how much the show means to us. It is hard to see such a strong story stop when the audience is still so active and engaged. This level of support is a direct result of the craft put into the series over the years.
We ask that you don't stop now. The demand in Brazil is clear and the passion for this project remains high. Keeping this story alive would mean a lot to the thousands of people who are signing their names to keep it going.
Virou muito mais do que um anime pra mim. Em poucos episódios, conseguiu criar uma conexão emocional que muitos não conseguem em temporadas inteiras. Cancelar algo com tanto potencial é desperdiçar uma obra que ainda tem muito a entregar. Espero de verdade que reconsiderem e deem a continuidade que essa história merece.
They have not considered poor people who cannot afford expensive contracts and tv is their lifeline and especially if they are disabled this is very unkind
It’s important to recognise that Freeview Tv is still widely used. Not every older person has either access to the internet nor the help of a family member to help navigate it. My aunt when she was alive struggled with the Freeview channels and couldn’t comprehend how the internet/mobile phones worked .
