This is a story only she and I know about.

The story of a secret about this world.

It was like a pool of light.

Then, she ran out of the hospital.

Praying with all her heart,

she crossed the shrine gate.

Fish?

Now, I wonder if what I saw that day was really just a dream.

But it wasn't.

That summer, way up in the sky,

we changed the shape of the world.

I'm a 16-year-old high school student

We are expecting very heavy rain shortly.

It's gonna rain again.

I thought it had finally cleared.

We ran into a typhoon on the island too.

Excuse me.

Sorry.

For your safety, please go back inside.

Here it comes.

Wow!

Thank you very much.

What a crazy storm, right?

I'm looking for a well-paid part-time job

I'm looking for a well-paid part-time job

Man, this is delicious.

Sure you don't want any?

Yeah. I'm not hungry.

Really? Thanks for treating me then.

Don't mention it. You saved my life.

I guess. That was close.

Oh, right.

It's the first time I saved someone's life.

Oh.

By the way, do they sell beer around here?

Would you like one?

It's so expensive!

A grown-up man scrounging on me...

Tokyo is scary.

Where can I get a job without my student ID?

Submitted

It's raining again.

So, why did you come to Tokyo?

Er... to visit a relative.

Ah! yeah, summer vacation starts early at my school.

Hmm.

Well, if you ever need help, contact me.

See ya, kid.

Just don't forget your umbrella next time. It's a pain to clean up.

Sorry for the mess.

Heavy rains expected...

Tokyo is scary.

Living in Tokyo! Expenses:

Finally ran out of money.

Shinjuku Station

You know you can't stay here, please.

- $18, All you can drink! - Master.

Hey, mister. Wait a minute.

18 guns, 1600 live ammunition found.

Hey, you.

What are you doing here? Are you a minor?

- Hey! - Wait!

You jerk!

Tokyo is scary.

but...

I don't want to go home.

Never again.

- Who's this? - Is he sleeping?

On the floor?

Hey, are you a customer?

No, sorry.

Hey, are you ok?

C'mon, leave him alone.

- Get out of the way. - Sorry.

It's gotta be a toy.

Yamabukicho

21 minutes

Sorry, what's this?

It's for you. Don't tell anyone though.

Huh? But, why?

You've only drunk liquid for dinner three nights in a row.

I think that was

the most delicious dinner I've had in all my 16 years of life.

When can we meet again?

How about the day after tomorrow?

Great! I found a nice café. I'll book a table.

See you, Nagi.

Bye, Ayane.

Just a grade schooler...

How lucky! I was hoping to see you.

- Hi, Kana. - Hello, Nagi.

Two girls at his age...

- Did you curl your hair? - Yes! What do you think?

You look great. Very lovely.

Tokyo's amazing.

Excuse me. I'm Morishima. I called earlier.

Mr. Suga, are you there?

Mr. Suga?

Mr. Suga...

No, no. This isn't right.

Hello.

Sorry, I'm...

The new assistant. Kei told me.

Huh? No, I haven't yet...

I'm Natsumi. Nice to meet you.

Finally, someone else to do the grunt work!

Hey, kid.

Yes?

You looked at my boobs.

I didn't!

What's your name?

Hodaka Morishima.

Hodaka. Beautiful name.

Are you employed here, Natsumi?

Wanna know about me and Kei?

- Um, yes. - You're so funny.

It's... like you think.

Really?

Are they really having an affair?

Long time no see, kid. Have you lost weight?

Don't tell me you went out gambling again.

You're looking for a job, right?

This is what we're working on now.

We write for time-honored and prestigious magazines.

The Man Who Came From Space

Heavy Rains Caused by Weather Weapons

Human Sacrifices Protecting Tokyo

Our next feature is "Urban Legends."

Go and interview people who witnessed something like that.

- Huh? But, I... - Any topic will do.

Disappearances, alien abductions, etc. You kids like that kind of stuff, right?

How about this one?

100% Sunshine Girl

The girl who brings sunshine wherever she goes.

- Sunshine girl? - I'm like that!

It's raining so much this year.

- He ignored me? - So there's a demand for that.

Right.

Come on, kid. You've got zero initiative.

We've got an interview appointment. Go along and listen.

Me? Now?!

- You're on probation! - "Probatory period.”

No, really. I can't.

Of course, Sunshine Girls do exist.

I knew it!

And also Rain Girls.

Fortune Teller

The first are possessed by a fox god. The latter by a dragon god.

Fortune Teller

What was that?

Dragon individuals drink a lot. They yearn for water.

They're strong-willed and competitive, but a bit careless and unreliable.

Maybe that's me.

Fox individuals are hardworking, but too weak-hearted to be leaders.

Many are beautiful.

Definitely me.

The weather's off-balance right now, so probably one of them is needed.

Homeostasis of Gaia Theory.

I see.

But, those are dangerous jobs.

Messing with nature always has a cost.

Whoever uses too much weather power to bring back a balance will get spirited away.

Don't tell me...

I'll be careful.

So, how was it?

A so-called psychic talked at length about hocus-pocus magical stuff.

"If you use too much power you'll disappear.”

I see. So it was like that.

Weather isn't some kind of “power.” It's a natural phenomenon.

Look, we're aware of that. But, we're providing entertainment.

Is that all you've written so far? You're slow.

Sorry.

But it's not bad.

All right, you're hired.

Wait a minute! I didn't say I was...

It's a live-in job.

- Meals included. - Really?

I'll do it! Please hire me.

Good. What's your name again?

- Huh? - Funny.

- It's Hodaka, right? - Right.

It's ready.

Here.

I'm underage, remember?

Let's celebrate Hodaka's hiring.

Cheers!

That was the first meal I shared with someone since I came to Tokyo.

And also when my new life started.

It was a small editing company, run by Mr. Suga and Natsumi.

I did all the office chores.

Starting from Mr. Suga's personal care...

Answering the phone, filing receipts, transcribing interviews...

Is that all you've written so far?

This isn't mine.

Mr. Suga's out of the office...

Sometimes I rode around town with Natsumi doing some interviews.

- They're really looking for a Sunshine Girl. - No, Really?

My sis' friend's a real sunshine girl. You have no idea what she can do.

Weather Research Lab

We're not interested.

Then, the weather balloon picked up something really strange.

A swarm of moving objects among the clouds.

Is that all you've written?

You have to buy these when they're on sale.

He's out of the office again...

This paragraph's crap. But this ain't bad.

Rain. Rain. Rain.

There you are.

How's it going, Rain?

Yeah? Good boy.

It's an easy job. You'll see.

But...

Just give it a try. You'll get paid right away.

Our club is right there.

That girl...

Give it a go and earn yourself some bucks.

It's right in here. Let's go!

But...

Let's go!

Hey! Wait a minute.

Wait!

- Just keep running! - Listen to me.

You brat!

Hey, man.

What do you think you're doing?

You were forcing her.

Are you dumb or what? We made a deal.

Oh, wait...

Aren't you the brat who was sleeping in front of the club?

What's this? Payback?

Please stop it.

Damn it!

Get off me!

What's that? A toy gun?

You really are dumb.

Get up.

You...

What was that for? To thank me for the burger?

Where did you even get that gun? Who are you?

That was...

I found it and thought it was fake. It's just to scare people off.

You know you pointed it at a person, right? And you actually shot.

I can't believe it! You can't be like that. You have issues.

I got fired from my part-time job.

Was it my fault?

No, nothing to do with that burger.

But, that's why I need a well-paid job.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...

- Does it hurt? - Not really.

You're a runaway, aren't you? I can tell.

But, you can't really enjoy Tokyo with this kind of rain.

Huh? I guess.

Come with me.

It's going to clear up now.

Huh?

What do you mean?

A real Sunshine Girl?

I'm Hina.

- What's your name? - Hodaka.

- How old are you? - 16.

Younger than me.

I'll be 18 next month.

You don't look it.

You should treat your elders with respect.

Pleased to meet you, Hodaka.

Me too.

Mom, there's a fish.

Yeah? Nice.

Don't say bullshit.

I'm serious. This way.

Look, over there.

Can't see anything.

It's there! Look harder.

What's that?

The Kanto region is experiencing record-breaking rainfall this summer.

It's been raining continuously for two months.

The 30-day forecast predicts more heavy rain for at least another month.

Hey!

Look, it's amazing.

Did some stuff fell down with the rain?

In the parking lot too?

Raining animals!

It looks like a see-through jelly thing.

They kind of look like fish. Did they really fell from the sky?

But, they left no trace...

They instantly disappear.

Look.

Remember what the guy we interviewed said?

The sky has more mysteries than the sea.

A cumulonimbus cloud can hold as much water as a whole lake.

So, it could as well harbor an uncharted ecosystem within itself.

You mean, like these things?

I guess. Amazing, isn't it?

If we write about it...

Maybe we can make good money.

Huh? What?

You're starting to sound like Kei. You'll be a boring grown-up.

Anyway, don't stand up your Sunshine Girl.

- You're going on a date, right? - It's not a date!

I'm going to look for a job.

What? Isn't this your job?

I'm just hanging out.

I said it's not a date.

I understand how you feel, Keisuke.

But, she finally stopped asking for you all the time.

I think it'd be cruel to remind her of you right now.

But, I have the right to see her.

Besides, you smoke. Don't you?

Huh?

You know she's got asthma.

You're too inconsiderate.

I quit smoking a while ago.

Well, besides that...

You also give a bad impression.

It's raining all the time this year.

She can't play outside because of her asthma.

I feel sorry for children nowadays.

We used fo have beautiful springs and summers.

They can't stay there if it's just the two of them.

You're right.

Hold on.

This is my first time...

visiting a girl's home...

and she lives alone!

Welcome, Hodaka. You got lost, didn't you?

No, er... it's not much, but...

Wow, thank you. Come on in.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Potato Chips

Potato Chips Instant Noodles

Hey, did you have lunch?

Not yet. Ah! But, don't worry!

Just sit there and relax.

Can I use these?

- Sure. - Thanks.

So, do you live alone?

With my younger brother. Although we have a few problems right now.

Problems?

How about you? Why did you run away?

I found it suffocating to live with my parents.

And in that town.

I see.

Shouldn't you go back though?

I don't want to.

Right.

Here you go.

Spring onions! I forgot the spring onions.

So how do you like living in Tokyo?

Eh? oh.

Come to think of it,

I don't feel like I'm suffocating anymore.

Happy to hear that.

Thank you for the food.

What? An earthquake?

It's the train.

Are you serious, Hodaka?

Yeah.

And, don't you need a job?

I do. But, I can't charge people for that.

Well, I don't think you should be working in a club like that either.

Hodaka.

What are you looking at?

I'm not looking at anything!

Sorry.

Isn't $50 too expensive?

Shall we do $30, then?

Considering living expenses, though...

Maybe we need some graphics.

I'll draw them.

We've got a request!

Is it already public?

They need good weather for a flea market.

It's tomorrow!

Wait a minute! Am I really gonna do this?

Widespread rain tomorrow...

It's gonna rain tomorrow!

That's the whole point.

Who the hell is that guy?

It'll be fine. I'll help you.

How?!

Please use this.

Sorry, I won't.

I've got another secret weapon for you.

Sorry, don't need it.

Cut it out, Hodaka!

Who called those weirdos?

We thought it might bring good luck.

Don't push yourselves too hard.

We're almost there!

Water, hina?

Do you want a candy?

- Tell them to go home. - Ok.

- The sky's clearing up. - No way!

- It cleared up. - It's been ages, huh?

- Look! Look! - Finally, after so long.

- The sky's so beautiful. - Amazing.

What do you think?

- You're awesome, guys. - You're a real Sunshine Girl.

- I'm so surprised. - You're great.

- Even if it was a coincidence. - It wasn't.

Here's $200.

It's too much.

You get a bonus because you're cute.

Thank you so much. We'll sell a lot more now.

Yaaay!

- Amazing! - I feel I can do this.

Cool! Let's make money with the weather.

Yeah!

I want to play outside.

They'll probably cancel it.

I'm tired.

I've read everywhere the 100% Sunshine Girl is amazing.

But, this is such a very big event. Do you really want to rely on that?

It's going to rain all week so we can't postpone it anyway.

At this point we don't mind trying one or two unorthodox methods.

The Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival

will start at 7 P.M. as scheduled.

I'm in love...

with this Sunshine Girl job.

I finally found my role in life.

Maybe. Or maybe not. Or maybe not not not not.

Maybe not not...?

Yes or no?

You're too serious.

Just wanted to say, Thank you, Hodaka.

Weather is a mystery.

The way the sky looks can move you so much.

Hina really moves my heart.

Yesterday, the Jingu Gaien fireworks were blessed with miraculous sunshine.

What?

Hello, this is the Mamiya household.

Hello, it's Keisuke. Sorry to rush you.

Regarding the visit...

You're late, Kei. You know it's an important interview.

Are we in a bad mood? No luck with work, meow?

Where's Hodaka?

Busy with his other job?

-Your location -Hodaka's location

-Your location -Hodaka's location

He's neglecting work lately.

Just let him be. We're not that busy.

He took in that cat.

You did the same with him.

Huh?

You helped him because he reminded you of yourself.

How much are you paying him?

Only $300? That's so low.

- Nope. It's $30. - What?

Are you serious? $30 a month? That's exploitation.

Eyes on the road.

You're gonna get sued. Actually, I'll report you.

He gets free food and a bed, and we got him a phone.

Ugh!

No wonder he's got a second job.

I'm surprised. It's really cleared up.

You kids are amazing. It's a shame you're quitting.

She was caught on camera so we got flooded with too many requests.

Is her the famous Sunshine Girl?

Is her the famous Sunshine Girl?

We can't cope, so we'll do one more and then stop for a while.

She looks tired, too.

Got guests, granny?

Oh, you're here.

I came to help.

Hey guys. Are you granny's friends?

Hello.

I've asked for nice weather on my husband's first anniversary.

And it actually stopped raining, huh?

It'd be hard for him to come back if it was raining.

Come back?

They say the dead come back from the sky around August 15.

So, he died a year ago?

Yes.

My mom too.

You lost your mother last year?

Yes.

Light a welcoming fire for her.

She'll protect you.

Thanks.

They'll follow the smoke and come back.

From where?

From the skies.

There's always been another world up there.

Apparently, this is what the Weather Maiden saw.

It's a mysterious painting.

Flying fish in the sky. And even a dragon.

It's beautiful.

Right?

This Weather Maiden... was like a shaman, right?

Huh? What?

Was she like a shaman?

Yeah.

Fixing the weather is the Weather Maiden's work.

- Fixing it? - Sounds like a con.

Like this year's unprecedented rain?

There's nothing unprecedented about it.

They say "in recorded history,"

but when did records begin?

100 years ago at best.

How old do you think this is?

800 years old.

800?

Don't get too excited, grandpa.

The weather changes on a whim.

Regardless of human needs.

We can't even tell what's normal and what's not.

We're only allowed to stay here temporarily

in the space between the sky and earth,

clinging hard not to be shaken off.

We used to be well aware of this in the past.

But, there's a thin thread linking us humans and the sky.

And that is the Weather Maiden.

I pray for good weather.

And that is the Weather Maiden.

I pray for good weather.

I pray for good weather.

A special girl who can take in people's wishes and deliver them to the sky.

In ancient times, there was one in every village and every country.

Kei, it sounds a lot like the Sunshine Girl.

Are you sure you want to keep listening to my grandpa?

It all sounds pretty fake.

It's a very interesting story. We're thankful.

But, everything comes with a price.

A tragic fate awaits the Weather Maiden.

Thanks for keeping granny company.

We're actually here because of work.

Join us, granny.

They're having fun. How old are you guys?

I'm 16. She's...

She said her is birthday next week.

Really? You've gotta buy her a present.

Come eat some watermelon.

- Yay! - Thank you.

Hey, wait!

Dang.

Jeez. Why?

Wait a minute!

I didn't know she was a minor, I swear.

It's not about that?

I told you it wasn't.

You made us run for nothing.

That's you, right?

Can you tell us about this boy?

A high school boy?

Maybe he picked up the gun Shibata threw away.

In that case, he might have posted about it.

Online, you mean?

Don't ask online.

Go, Nagi!

- You're amazing, Nagi! - You're the best.

A ring. Definitely.

Really? Isn't it too serious?

It's for my sister's birthday, right?

I've asked another woman for reference, but...

What I'd like to get?

Hugs and kisses. Cash.

A decent boyfriend. And a job.

It wasn't helpful at all.

- A ring, huh... - Bye bye, Nagi!

See you, Nagi.

You're in love with Hina, aren't you?

What?

What?! It's not like that.

Or maybe it is?

Being ambivalent is the worst thing for a guy.

Really?

Be clear when you want to start dating. You can think more later. It's the basics.

Can I call you Nagi-sempai?

Hina's been working all the time since mom died.

She's been doing it for me, because I'm still too young.

So, I want her to do more teenage-like stuff.

I still don't know if you're the right guy, though.

Thank you very much.

Er, do you think she'll like it?

Huh?

It took you three hours to choose it.

If I were her, I'd be very happy.

The best of luck.

Tomorrow's job will be our last.

A man requested good weather at the park for his daughter.

After that, I'll give Hina the ring.

Daddy, do it again. One more time!

Right. Ready?

Go!

Ouch. This is bad for my back.

Hey Mr. Suga, I was wondering, Did you know this was my job?

You knew and said nothing? Actually, do you have a daughter?

I'm stunned. Today's forecast was 100% rain.

My daughter has asthma.

She lives with her granny, who won't let me see her on rainy days.

Nothing can beat a gorgeous blue sky.

So, you're Hodaka's boss.

I also saved his life.

Why does she call you like a little boy?

Hina's two years older than me.

Huh? 16, 17, 18. It's all the same.

- Right? - It's not!

There you are!

Hi, guys!

Aren't you gonna be in trouble?

Does Natsumi know you're married?

What's up with you guys?

Hodaka thought you were my...

Mistress?!

You didn't tell me you were uncle and niece.

That's a disgusting fantasy.

You're dirty-minded.

Hey, Hodaka.

You looked at my boobs.

No, I didn't!

Natsumi!

Hello, Moka!

Daddy, I made a garland. It's for you!

Really?

Come here, Hodaka.

Sempai's calling me.

Hodaka's hilarious.

He's such a kid.

Don't you think they're similar?

- Hodaka and Mr. suga? - Yep.

Kei ran away from home and came to Tokyo when he was a teen.

Then, he met his wife and fell in love big time.

But, she died in an accident some years ago.

He's still in love with her.

I've been dying to meet you for so long, Hina.

The 100% Sunshine Girl. You're amazing.

I wish I had a skill like that on my resume. I hate looking for a job.

I wish I was still in high school too.

Well... I can't wait to be a grown-up instead.

I see. Good to see you're okay.

I was actually a bit worried.

Are you tired, Moka? Here, take a breath.

One, two, three.

I'm fine. Let's play!

I don't think...

I guess we'll leave now.

I want to spend more time with Nagi!

Why don't we all go to dinner together?

But...

I'll go eat with Moka. Is it ok?

- Sure. - Yay!

Hodaka, take Hina home.

Hey!

Thank you for bringing the sunshine today!

Thank you.

I'm glad I made you happy.

Oh God, oh God.

I guess this is going to be...

The first time I tell a girl I love her.

- Hina. - Hodaka.

- Oh, sorry. - It's ok.

- What is it? - Nothing in particular.

What were you saying?

Hodaka, you know...

I...

Hina!

Hodaka!

Hina?

I think I became the Sunshine Girl...

last year, on that day.

The day before I prayed for good weather all day long.

I wanted to have one last day under the sun with my mom.

It looked like a pool of light.

Praying with all my heart, I crossed the shrine gate.

When I came around, I was lying on the roof's floor.

And the sky was clear.

I think

that's when I got connected to the sky.

Connected to the sky?

Stay in there, Hodaka.

Police. Sorry for the late visit.

The police?

Are you sure you've never seen him?

He's been seen many times around here.

I haven't.

What has he done?

We want to ask him some questions.

He's a runaway. His parents filed a missing person's report.

Also, you're living alone with your little brother, right?

That's right.

That's a bit of a problem too.

Without a guardian, he cannot—

But!

We don't bother anyone.

Hina.

She'll come back tomorrow with Social Services.

What can I do? They'll separate us!

Mr. Suga

Hodaka! The police was...

I know. Go home, I'll come back later.

Temperatures have fallen sharply after sunset.

Mr. Suga?

Surprised by my new look?

I'm in disguise.

The police came to my office. They're treating it like a kidnapping.

I denied any involvement, but they suspect me.

Take it. It's part of your severance pay.

Please, don't come back to the office, or they'll arrest me.

I filed for my daughter's custody. It's a delicate time. I'm sorry.

Just go back home tomorrow.

Then everything will go back to normal.

It'll be best for everyone.

It's time to grow up, kid.

We can't stay here anymore.

But, where are you...

I don't know, but...

Anywhere will do.

As long as I'm with you.

Hodaka, you'd better go home before you get caught.

At least you've got a place to go back to.

That's not...

We'll be fine.

I'm not going back.

Let's run away together!

A flooding warning has just been issued in the Tokyo area.

It could be the heaviest rainfall in decades.

What the heck?

- Let's get off. - I'll ask mom to pick us up.

What should we do?

Let's look for a place to sleep tonight.

I'm sorry, we're fully booked.

Do you have a reservation?

We're full.

Only the three of you?

Do you have IDs?

We can't accept unaccompanied minors.

It's not a matter of money.

This is not a place for kids.

You guys...

Are you runaways?

Hina, Hodaka, look!

Snow?

Midsummer snow

Is Hina really connected with the sky?

It's freezing!

Hey Kei, it's snowing in August.

The world's finally gone crazy.

Oh?

It's unbelievable, but it's snowing here in Tokyo.

Kei, wake up. You'll catch a cold.

Asuka.

Asuka. And you too, Kei. Smile.

Brrr!

You sound like an old man, Kei.

You know, once you grow old

You can't help others even if you want to.

What are you saying? Where's Hodaka?

Did you kick him out? I can't believe it!

I told you, the police showed up. I have got to protect myself.

Huh?! So you smoked a pack of cigarettes and got drunk because you felt guilty.

That's so not cool, meow.

Even Rain's saying it.

Really not cool. So last century. Yeah, stay away. You smell old.

Hey, you're uncool too. What's her name... Hina.

If the story about the Weather Maiden being...

a human sacrifice is true, then one day she'll...

But, that's...

What should I have done, then?

Don't get so uptight. It's just bullshit.

But, if it were true...

If we could fix this mess outside with the sacrifice of a single person... It's tempting.

Everyone would agree.

A heavy rain and heavy snow warning has been issued.

Don't go outside if it's not strictly necessary.

You kids, wait.

You kids, wait.

It's dangerous to walk around unsupervised.

Are you all siblings?

Well...

We're going home.

I'm a college student. They're my younger brothers.

I see. Can you show me your ID?

I don't have it on me.

Maybe it's him.

He may be carrying a gun. Be careful.

And you? Are you in high school? That's a big backpack.

Can you remove your hood?

Hina.

Run away.

Hey! Wait!

Stop!

- Got you! - Let me go!

Resisting arrest!

- Let me go! - Stop struggling.

Hodaka!

Stop!

Hina?

Please!

It's dangerous!

Let's go, Hina.

- Jeez. - Let's go take a look.

Sempai.

It's $280 a night.

$280. Can you pay?

Huh? Yes. I'll pay.

Seems like I'm a wanted man now.

That's so cool.

- I was really worried. - You almost got arrested.

I totally panicked. There's nothing to laugh about.

This room is huge!

The bed's huge! The bathroom's huge!

Sis, Hodaka.

Let's take a bath together.

Do it alone.

Hodaka, let's take a boys-only bath together then.

It's so warm.

What's this?

- Wow! - Amazing.

Switching!

There's a lot of stuff.

- What do you want? - Let's try them all, Sempai.

- Are you sure? - I got severance pay.

Hina, we're having a superb dinner tonight.

Looking forward to it.

Fried Chicken

I'm back.

Welcome back.

Thank you for the food.

Let me try that, Hodaka.

- The curry's yummy. - Yakisoba's delicious.

I want some too.

Aren't you opening it too early, Hodaka?

Tastes better if you only wait two minutes.

~The fortune cookie in love~

~The future's not looking so grim~

~The thing that's in your heart~

~The thing that soon will disappear~

Dear God, if you really exist, somewhere out there, I beg of you.

This is more than enough. We don't want anything else.

We'll manage somehow.

So please, don't give us anything more,

and don't take away anything more from us.

I beg of you, please, dear God.

Let us be together, like this, forever.

Hina.

Happy 18th birthday.

It's cheap, but I've picked something that'd look good on you.

Thank you.

Hey, Hodaka.

You'd also like this rain to stop, right?

Hmm, yeah.

I was chosen to be a human sacrifice.

Natsumi told me about the Sunshine Girl's fate.

She gets sacrificed and disappears, then the weather goes back to normal.

Come on.

They're always telling weird stories. It's not like people disappear...

What are you looking at?

I'm not looking!

I'm looking at you.

Why are you crying?

The more I pray for sunshine, the more my body becomes transparent.

I'm sure that, if I die this way,

the usual summer will come back.

- Take care of Nagi. - No!

No way. You're not going anywhere.

We'll live together. The three of us.

Hodaka.

Let's make a promise, Hina.

We'll always be together.

I'll work. I'll earn enough for all of us.

You quit the Sunshine Girl job. Your body will go back to normal.

So—

I had a dream.

When I was still on the island.

I already wanted to leave.

I was rushing desperately, trying to reach the light.

When I thought I finally did, I just reached a dead end instead.

Then, I decided I wanted to enter that light

and at the edge of it, I found you.

I had a dream.

The day I met you.

You looked like a lost kitten.

But you found meaning for my existence.

I kept working as the Sunshine Girl because it made me happy to make people smile.

I'm really glad I met you.

So, don't cry, Hodaka.

What is this place?

Hodaka...

Hina?

Where are you?

Hina?

- Hina? - What's wrong, Hodaka?

Hina disappeared.

I just dreamed... that she was disappearing in the sky.

Don't tell me...

Open the door!

- Open up! - What?

Hodaka Morishima, right?

You're a missing person and suspect of carrying an illegal weapon.

- Come to the police station. - Let me go!

- I won't hurt you. - Let me go, I said!

- Hodaka! - Sempai!

Don't struggle.

Keep going.

After months of rain, the Kanto region is finally seeing some brilliant sunshine.

It almost seems unreal.

In the last few hours, a sudden change in...

By 8 A.M. the temperature raised to over 77°F.

It's a miracle!

Many areas around the Arakawa River are flooded.

Many areas around the Arakawa River are flooded.

Flooded but it's sunny!

The extent of the damage has yet to be assessed.

The extent of the damage has yet to be assessed.

It will take at least a few days for recovery.

Everyone looks happy this morning.

It's the first sunny day in 72 days.

- Hey, look at the sky. - Wow, finally.

- It's sunny. - It cleared up!

The sky's so clear.

I feel like crying.

Finally, the real summer has arrived.

What are you doing?

Hina...

She sacrificed herself.

- Hina! Tell me it's not true! - Hey!

Hina! Hina!

I've got a question.

The girl who was with you yesterday is 15-year-old Hina Amano, correct?

Do you know where she is?

Hina's 15?

Not 18?

She faked her resume at work.

I guess she had to make a living, but that's her actual age.

The compulsory school age.

Didn't you know?

What the heck?

I'm the oldest one.

What a pain.

Don't you know where she may be?

The sky has cleared because she offered herself in exchange!

And nobody knows that. I can't take it.

This is a pain.

Will we need a medical expert?

It's so sunny...

Daddy! Hey, did you look outside?

Yeah, I did.

I dreamed of Hina.

I'm sure it was her who made it sunny again.

Yeah.

Maybe you're right.

Ikebukuro Police Station

Ikebukuro Police Station

Excuse me.

Detective, I've got a favor to ask you.

What?

Let me go look for Hina. It's my turn to help her now.

I'll come back as soon as I find her.

I'll listen to you in here. Come on.

Tell Mr. Yasui that we'll interrogate him now.

Yes, sir.

Hey! Wait!

Wait!

Someone stop him!

Stop!

- That brat. - Don't let him get out of the station.

Stop!

Stop!

Bastard!

What the hell?!

Cheeky bastard.

Quick, cross the street!

Darn!

Hodaka!

- Natsumi? - What are you doing?

I'm going to find Hina.

Get on.

That brat!

Nagi called.

He said Hina disappeared and you got arrested.

Where is he?

At the Child Consultation Center.

How exciting. We're outlaws now!

Where are we going, then?

What? Another visitor?

Visitor: Ayane Hanazawa

Oh, it's another girl.

He's popular, huh?

Nagi.

Ayane! You're here too.

- Kana, this is Ayane. - Pleased to meet you.

- Ayane, this is Kana. - Nice to meet you.

And she's officer Sasaki. She'll be here with me all day.

You're like a VIP, Nagi. Pleased to meet you.

Thank you so much for coming.

Sorry for the sudden call.

For real! When I heard they took you into custody, my heart almost stopped.

Same for me. My heart's still pounding.

Touch and feel it, Nagi.

Oh, you're right.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

It's my first visit so I'm a bit nervous.

Ah.

You know... I need to use the toilet.

Oh, right. Okay.

Thanks, I owe you one.

Jeez. You call your ex whenever you need something.

Here.

Look the other way. I'll take my clothes off.

Mr. Keisuke Suga.

Thank you for yesterday.

You again?

Summer's finally back the way it should, huh?

I told you I know nothing about that runaway boy.

Can we check out your office for a minute?

- Hey, what's that for? - Oh, it's flooded.

Didn't you catch him already?

Well, it's a bit embarrassing, but...

Huh? Did he run away...

from a police station?

That abandoned building in Yoyogi?

Yeah, that's where she became a Sunshine Girl.

Bend down!

She said she got connected to the sky on the roof of that building.

So, if I go there, I'm sure...

Whoops!

You, on that bike! Stop!

Hold tight!

Whoa!

Natsumi!

Am I awesome or what? I think I was born for this.

Maybe...

I should become a speed cop!

They won't hire you now!

As for the reason for his escape...

I think he may be searching for the girl who was with him.

I went shopping!

Well, let's me think...

He said she's disappeared in exchange for this good weather.

What? Don't tell me you...

No, I don't believe it.

But, he's throwing his life away.

And all because there's a girl he wants to be with so badly.

Moka 3yo Moka 2yo Moka 1yo

Makes me feel a bit envious.

There's not point in telling me that.

Mr. Suga, you...

Huh?

Are you feeling okay?

Why?

Well, you are...

crying.

Oh, no.

We're jumping in!

Can't go any further.

Go! Hodaka.

Thank you, Natsumi.

Hodaka!

Get her back!

Hina. Hina. Hina. Hina!

Are you there? Hina!

Hey, Hodaka.

It's all clear and shiny now.

It's for you.

You've only drunk liquid for dinner three nights in a row.

Does it hurt? You're a runaway, aren't you?

But, you can't really enjoy Tokyo with this kind of rain.

Younger than me.

I'll be 18 next month.

I'll be 18 next month.

You should treat your elders with respect.

Hey, did you have lunch?

Sit there and relax.

So how do you like living in Tokyo?

Come to think of it,

I don't feel like I'm suffocating anymore.

Happy to hear that.

I'm in love with... this Sunshine Girl job.

Just wanted to say, Thank you, Hodaka.

Someone got onto the tracks.

- Who's that? - Hey, you!

It's dangerous!

Hey! What are you doing?

It's dangerous! Stop!

- What's that? Hilarious. - What is he doing?

- There's someone running. - He'll get arrested.

There are idiots like that.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Hina!

I made you do that Sunshine Girl thing.

And you've been shouldering all the responsibility.

Hey, Hodaka.

You'd also like this rain to stop, right?

Mr. Suga?

I was looking for you, Hodaka.

Why?

Do you realize what you're doing?

Hina's disappeared.

It's my fault. The Sunshine Girl job was my idea.

Hodaka, you...

It's my turn to help her now!

I must go.

Wait!

Where are you...

I can go to where she is through there!

What are you saying?

She's in the sky! I'll use the emergency stairs.

- She can't be up there. - I have to help her!

Get a grip!

Calm down, please...

Go back to the police station.

They'll understand. You've done nothing wrong.

If she's gone but you keep running after her, you'll end up like me. Get it?

Suspect's car found. Going to apprehend him.

Don't worry, I'll come with you.

Let's explain everything together, ok?

Let me go! Please!

Calm down.

Get off me!

You bastard!

Don't stand in my way!

Hodaka. That's...

Let me go see Hina!

Hodaka Morishima!

Drop the gun!

Hey, wait a minute.

It's a misunderstanding. I'll explain.

Right, Hodaka?

You...

Put the gun down, young man.

Please don't make me shoot.

Hodaka.

Come on Hodaka, just put it down.

What's wrong with you guys? He's just a kid!

Leave me alone!

Why are you holding me up? You don't know how I feel. You pretend you don't.

I just want to see her...

one more time!

Got him!

Let go of me!

Take your hands off him. Assholes!

You bastard!

Hodaka, go!

Stop!

Hodaka!

Nagi!

Hey!

Hodaka, it's your fault!

Bring my sister back!

Dear God,

please, please, please,

Please!

Sky fish?

Hina!

Hina!

Hina!

Hina!

- Hina! - Hodaka?

- Hodaka! - Hina!

Jump!

Hina, I found you!

Hoda— Hodaka!

- Don't let go of my hands. - Okay.

Ah!

Hina!

Hodaka!

Hina, let's go home!

But, if I do, the weather will...

Doesn't matter!

It's enough!

You don't have to be the Sunshine Girl anymore!

Who cares if we don't see the sun again!

I want you more than any blue sky!

The weather...

can go to hell!

This time, pray for yourself...

Hina.

Okay.

Hodaka...

The rain started falling again that day, and never stopped.

It's slowly sinking Tokyo into the water.

And it's still falling now, three years later.

For real...

Congratulations on your graduation

Do you really want me to sing?

Morishima-sempai!

Er... You're moving to Tokyo, aren't you?

Huh? Yeah.

Come on, ask him. It's now or never.

Eh? Is this really...

You know... there's something I've always wanted to ask you.

the first time someone tells me they love me?

I'd like to know...

Is it...

Is it true you're wanted by the police in Tokyo?

Huh?

That summer three years ago,

I was arrested and went on trial.

They put me on probation until graduation.

The island, my parents' house, and the school...

They all were the same old places they forced me to live at.

But, I just kept quietly waiting for graduation.

I haven't...

seen Hina since that day.

I have no idea what I'll feel

seeing Tokyo in its current state

nor what I'll say to her.

Tomorrow's weather for the Kanto region.

Sunshine for You

It's still there.

It was a Sunshine Girl request

from two years ago.

Next stop: Takashimadaira.

Look who's here. Are you alone?

Tachibana

Where's the Sunshine Girl?

She's no longer a Sunshine Girl.

I came just to tell you that.

Don't trouble yourself.

You moved. You used to live in an older house downtown.

The whole area is under water now.

I'm sorry.

Why do you apologize?

No, it's...

You know, that area used to be under the sea.

Until 200 years ago.

In old times, Tokyo was just a bay.

Human beings and the weather changed it, little by little.

So, well... I think it's just gone back to its original self.

What the heck.

You've been thinking about that crap for three years?

Don't say it like that...

You're about to start college, but you're still talking like a kid.

But, that day we...

What? You two caused this? Did you break the world?

Not at all, dummy. Don't flatter yourself.

Look, look. I went on a date with my daughter.

And Natsumi and Nagi came along too.

Anyway, stop brooding over stupid stuff and go see her.

Why haven't you?

I was on probation so I didn't want to cause her trouble.

She doesn't even have a cellphone.

And I'm so nervous.

I don't know what to say to her.

Rain? You're so big now.

Come on, get out of here. Go now. I've got work to do!

Just go to her already.

Thank you for your time.

Come back again.

Hey.

Really, stop worrying, kid.

The world's always been crazy anyway.

Next stop: Hamamatsucho.

- You're super positive. - You think?

- Looking forward to the picnic. - Yeah!

It was under the sea, huh?

And the world's always been crazy anyway.

So, it's no one's fault that it's like this.

Is that what I should say to her?

No. That's not it.

That day, I... We changed the world.

I made a choice.

I chose her over this world. Nothing else matters. I chose to live with her!

Hina!

Hodaka!

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Yeah.

Hina, I'm sure...

we'll be very happy.
