Mangas

Basé sur le film de Makoto Shinkai, Byousoku 5 Centimeter suit la vie de Tohno Takaki, Shinozaki Akari et Sumida Kanae. Le manga suit ces trois personnes et leurs différents points de vue alors qu'elles font la chronique de leur vie.

L'histoire basée en 2047, décrit une collégienne japonaise, Mikako Nagamine, qui bien que s'étant engagé dans la Flotte Spatiale des Nations Unies, essaye de garder le contact avec son meilleur ami, Noboro, resté sur terre. La distance toujours grandissante entre eux deux, à cause de la recherche d'une race extraterrestre appelé Tarsien, allonge le temps de réception des messages et crée une différence d'âge inexistante à l'origine.

In an alternate history of the aftermath of World War II, Japan has been cleaved in half, with the south—Honshu and the other islands—allied with the United States and the northern island Hokkaido annexed by the enigmatic Union. It was on Hokkaido that a mysterious tower had been built, a strand of metal reaching up out of the atmosphere, visible from the northern tip of Honshu. In 1996, three teenagers, Hiroki, Takuya and Sayuri, make a pact—they will build an experimental aircraft, almost invisible to surveillance, cross over to Hokkaido and unlock the secrets of the tower. Their dream was never realized, because Sayuri was sent to Tokyo for treatment after she fell into a coma. It is now three years later. The rosy illusions of youth have fallen away, but not the unbreakable strength of the trio’s promise. The truth of the tower will be uncovered, and with it, the link between it and Sayuri’s mysterious, carefully tended condition.This is a manga version of the film the Place Promised in Our Early Days
