This is a story only she and I know about.

The story of the secret of this world.

It was like a pool of light.

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 just a dream.

But it wasn't

That summer day, up in the sky,

we changed the shape of the world.

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

We're 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.

What a storm it was.

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

This is delicious.

Sure you don't want any?

Yeah. I'm not hungry.

Really? Thanks for treating me.

Don't mention it. You saved me.

Yeah. That was close.

Oh, Right.

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

Okay.

By the way, do they sell beer here?

Shall I get you one?

It's so expensive!

A grown-up man scrounging on me...

Tokyo is scary.

"Where can I get one without student ID?"

QUESTION POSTED

It's raining again.

Why did you come to Tokyo?

Er... to visit a relative.

Summer vacation starts early at my school.

Hmm.

If you ever need help, contact me.

See ya, kid.

It suddenly started pouring down again...

Don't you ever learn? It's a pain to clean up.

Sorry.

Huh?

Are you really in college?

Where's your ID?

Forget it.

It's not stuff for kids.

Sudden downpours expected...

Tokyo is scary.

LIVING IN TOKYO! EXPENSES

I've got to start saving.

SHINJUKU STATION

Don't sit down here, please.

- $18 all you can drink. - Master.

Hey, mister. Wait a minute.

18 guns, 1600 live ammunition found, everything the solicitors say is a lie.

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.

Is he ok?

Leave him alone.

- Get out of the way. - Sorry.

It's gotta be a toy.

"Yamabukicho"

21 MINUTES

Fr... what's this?

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

Huh? But, why?

You've eaten that for dinner three nights in a row.

I think that was

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

Bye, Ayane.

A grade schooler...

How lucky. I was hoping to see you.

- Hi, Kana. - Nagi-kun.

He's a ladies' man.

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

You look great. Very lovely.

Tokyo's amazing.

K&A PLANNING

It should be here.

It doesn't work.

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

Suga-san, are you in?

Suga-san?

Suga-san?

Wait, this isn't right.

Hello.

Sorry, I'm...

The new assistant. Kei-chan 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-san?

Wanna know about me and Kei-chan?

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

It's like you think.

Really?

I've never seen a mistress before.

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

DOWNPOURS ARE WEATHER WEAPONS

MANY HUMAN SACRIFICES PROTECTING TOKYO

Our next feature is "Urban Legends".

Go and interview people who witnessed or experienced some.

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

Disappearances, human traffic, etc. You kids like that kinda stuff, right?

How about this?

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? - There's a demand for that.

Right.

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

She's 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.

Excuse me?

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

Many are beautiful.

Definitely me.

The weather's off-balance, so more sunshine and rain girls are born now.

Homeostasis of Gaia Theory.

I see.

But, we must be careful.

Messing with nature always has a cost.

Whoever uses too much weather power gets spirited away.

That's...

I'll be careful.

So, how was it?

A so-called psychic talked at length about fantasy novel-like stuff.

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

I see. That kinda stuff.

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? - Droll.

- It's Hodaka-kun. - 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.

This is when my new life started.

♪ On that day, the wind suddenly changed before our eyes ♪

♪ That's when I knew I could do almost anything, ♪

♪ like breaking the world record ♪

♪ with my weaker hand ♪

♪ I did, I really did! ♪

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

I did all the office chores.

Starting from Suga-san's personal care...

Answering the phone, filing receiprs, franscribing interviews.

Is that all you've written so far?

This isn't mine.

Mr. Suga is out of the office...

Sometimes, I rode around town with Natsumi-san to do some interviews.

- They're looking for a sunshine girl. - Hilarious.

My sis' friend's a real sunshine girl. She calls her the day before a date...

- WEATHER RESEARCH LAB - We're not interested.

Then the weather balloon's videosonde picked up something strange.

A swarm of moving objects among the cumulonimbi.

Is that all you've written?

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

He's out of the office...

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

PACHINKO

Suga-san, wake up. Come on.

Hello with no goodbye, future with no resignation

♪ Hello with no goodbye, future with no resignation ♪

My days were hectic.

But, for the first time someone was relying on me.

Those rainy days in Tokyo passed in a flash.

Rain.

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 there. 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've made a deal.

Don't tell me...

You're the brat that was squatting in front of our club?

What's this, payback?

Please stop it.

Damn!

Get off me!

What's that? A toy gun?

You really are dumb.

Get up.

You...

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

Where did you get that gun? Who are you?

That's...

I found it. I thought it was a toy. It was like a lucky charm for me.

What? You pointed it at someone. You could have killed him.

I can't believe it! You make me sick. You're the worst.

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 enjoy Tokyo with this rain.

Huh? Yeah.

Come with me.

It'll clear up now.

Huh?

What do you mean?

A 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 me 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 days forecast predicts more heavy rain for another month.

SUNSHINE FOR YOU

Too expensive?

Hey!

Look, it's amazing.

SOME STUFF FELL DOWN WITH THE RAIN

IN THE PARKING LOT

FAFROTSKIES

SEE-THROUGH LIKE JELLY

They kinda look like fish. They fell from the sky?

But, they left no trace...

They instantly disappear.

Look.

Remember what the guy we interviewed said?

The sky's a deeper unknown world than the sea.

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

So, it could as well harbor an uncharted ecosystem.

Like these fish?

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-chan. You'll be a boring grown-up.

Don't put off your sunshine girl.

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

I'm going to look for a job.

What? Don't you work here?

I'm just hanging out.

It's not a date, I said.

I understand how you feel, Keisuke-san.

But, she finally stopped talking about you.

It'd be cruel to meet her now.

But, I have the right to see her.

Besides, you smoke, don't you?

Huh?

She's got asthma.

You're too inconsiderate.

I quit smoking a while ago.

But...

You give a bad impression.

It's raining all the time this year.

She can't play outside, and it's bad for her asthma.

I feel sorry for children nowadays.

We used to have beautiful springs and summers.

They can't live together just the two of them.

You're right.

Hold on.

So, possibly...

I'm visiting a girl's home

for the first time!

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

INSTANT NOODLES

Hodaka, did you have lunch?

Not yet. But, it's okay.

Sit there and relax.

Can I use these?

- Sure. - Thanks.

Hina-san, do you live alone?

With my younger brother. We had some problems.

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?

I don't want to.

Right.

Here you go.

I forgot the spring onions!

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.

Thanks for the food.

What? An earthquake?

No, no, it's not. It's the train.

Are you serious, Hodaka?

Well, Hina-san, you're a real sunshine girl, aren't you?

You can clear up the sky just by praying.

Yeah.

Don't you need a job?

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

I don't think you're cut out for working in a club like that.

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.

What's this? A hippo?

- It's a frog. - Seriously?

It's done!

SUNSHINE FOR YOU

Well, I'll upload it.

- Okay? - Yeah.

I'm home.

Sis, I'd like some sardines...

Who are you?

You're the boy on the bus!

Do you know each other?

Hodaka, this is my brother Nagi.

Nagi, this is Hodaka. He's my business partner.

REQUEST

We've got a request!

You've already uploaded it?

They want 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?!

Hina-san, please use this.

Sorry, I won't.

I've got another secret weapon for you.

Sorry, don't need it.

Are you kidding me, Hodaka!

Who called those weirdos?

We thought it might bring good luck.

Don't push yourselves too hard.

We're almost there!

Water, Hina-san?

Sis, 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, $200.

It's too much.

You get a bonus because you're cute.

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

Yaay!

- Amazing, sis! - I feel I can do this.

Cool! Let's make money with the weather.

Yeah!

I want to play outside.

Everyone had their own reason to pursue sunshine in rainy Tokyo.

Hina-san was able fo clear only small spots for a brief time.

"It's a mystery! Sporadic spots of sunshine" - But, the sky would always answer her prayers.

She was really the "100 % sunshine girl".

We're really influenced by the weather.

I realized how much the human heart is connected with the sky.

THERE'S MISO SOUP IN THE POT. H.

I'm off.

To where?

TERROR ALERT

- Is it canceled due to rain? - It's past noon.

When does it start?

Tell us what's going on.

Shall we go home?

"Let's make a good weather charm, I'm tired!"

I've read online that the "100 % sunshine girl" is amazing.

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

It's going to rain all week. We won't be able to postpone it.

In this situation, we're even ready to rely on a charm.

The Jingu Galen fireworks

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.

Maybe not not...?

Yes or no?

You're too serious.

So, thank you, Hodaka.

Weather is a mystery.

The way the sky looks can move you so much.

Hina-san really moves my heart.

Yesterday's Jingu Galen fireworks were blessed with miraculous sunshine.

COMPANY TYPE - But, strong rain is back again today, just like a backlash.

YOUR STRENGTHS - The temperature in the capital is now 21°C, much lower than average.

You're my first company of choice.

"I admire skilled and charming people" - Be careful not to catch a cold.

Record rainfall and low temperatures are driving food prices up.

Lettuce is three times more expensive than last year.

"SKY FISH" REPORT - Lettuce is three times more expensive than last year.

Oh, that project? Right, we've put it on hold.

Sorry, we're not going ahead with it

I see.

Yes. Ok.

I'll do my best, so please call us again.

What?

Hello, this is the Mamiya household.

Mamiya-san, it's Keisuke. Sorry to rush you.

Regarding the visit...

Kei-chan, you're late. It's an important interview.

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

Where's Hodaka?

Busy with his other job?

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.

Look ahead.

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

He gets free food and accommodation, and the company pays his phone bills.

Ugh!

No wonder he's got an extra 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.

THE WEB FAMOUS SUNSHINE GIRL? - We got flooded with requests.

We can't cope. We'll do a last one then stop for a while.

She looks tired, too.

Got guests, granny?

Oh, you're here.

I came to help.

Very young guests. Are you granny's friends?

Hello.

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

It stopped raining, in fact.

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.

He'll follow the smoke and come back.

From where?

From heaven.

There's always been another world, up in the sky.

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?

The "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 abnormal weather?

There's nothing abnormal about that.

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 the norm and what isn't.

We're only allowed to stay 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.

The Weather Maiden.

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-chan. It sounds like the sunshine girl.

Are you sure you want to listen to my grandpa?

It all sounds pretty far-fetched.

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

But, everything comes at a price.

A tragic fate awaits the weather maiden.

TACHIBANA

One, Two, Three.

Your turn, sis.

One, Two, Three.

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 it's her birthday next week.

Really? You've gotta buy her a present.

Come eat some watermelon.

- Yaay! - 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 by chance the gun Shibata threw away.

In that case, he might have posted about it.

Online, you mean?

Kids write all sorts of stuff on social networks nowadays.

go, Nagi-kun!

- You're amazing, Nagi-kun! - 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... - Nagi-kun, bye bye.

See you, Nagi-kun.

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

What?

Er, it's not like that.

Or maybe it is?

Being ambivalent is the worst thing for a man.

Really?

Be clear before you start dating and be ambiguous later. It's the basics.

Can I call you Nagi-sempai?

Sis has been working all the time since mom died.

She's been doing it for me, because I'm still a kid.

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

I 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 it were I, I'd be very happy to receive it.

I wish you the best of luck.

LONGEST RAIN SPELL RECORD BROKEN

Tomorrow's sunshine girl job will be our last

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

After that, I'll give Hina-san the ring.

Daddy, do it again. One more time!

Right. Ready?

Go!

Ow. This is bad for your back.

Why you, Suga-san? Did you know this was my job?

You knew and said nothing? Actually, 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, Suga-san, you're Hodaka's boss.

I also saved his life.

Why does she treat you like a little boy?

Hina-san is two years older than me.

Huh? 16, 17, 18. Same stuff.

- I guess. - It's not.

There you are!

Hi, guys!

Aren't you gonna be in trouble?

Does Natsumi-san 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-kun.

You looked at my boobs.

I didn't!

Nat-chan!

Hello, Moka-chan!

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

Really?

Come here, Hodaka.

My sempai's calling me.

Hodaka-kun's hilarious.

He's such a kid.

Don't you think they're similar?

- Hodaka and Suga-san? - Yep.

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

He met his future 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-chan.

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.

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

Right. Good to see you're okay.

I was actually a bit worried.

Moka, are you tired? 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-kun!

Why don't we all go to dinner together?

But...

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

- Sure. - Yaay!

Hodaka, take sis home.

Hey.

Hina-chan, thank you for bringing the sunshine today!

Thank you.

I'm glad I made you happy.

Oh my god. Oh my god.

So, possibly this is gonna be...

The first time I tell a girl I love her.

- Hina-san. - Hodaka.

- Sorry. - It's okay.

- What is it? - Nothing in particular.

What were you saying?

Hodaka, you know...

I...

Hina-san!

Hodaka!

Hina-san?

I think I became a sunshine girl...

Last year, on that day.

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

I wanted to have one last walk 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 floor.

And the sky was clear.

I think

that's when I got connected to the sky.

Connected to the sky?

Hodaka, stay in there.

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 don't know him.

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, you...

But!

We don't bother anyone.

Hina-san.

She'll come back tomorrow with the social services.

What can I do? They'll separate us!

SUGA-SAN

Hodaka! The police were...

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

Temperatures have fallen sharply after sunset.

Suga-san?

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 your severance pay.

Don't come back to the office. They'll arrest me.

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

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.

You've got a place to go back to.

Don't say that.

We'll be fine.

I'm not going back.

Let's run away together.

A heavy rain special warning has just been issued in the Tokyo area.

It could be the heaviest rainfall in decades.

Watch out for floods in lowland areas.

A sudden typhoon-strength low-pressure system...

River flooding. Increasing danger.

Hey, it's overflowing!

Keep calm and walk slowly towards the exit.

Namboku line Akabane-Iwabuchi station, Shibuya Metro station...

Heavy rain and special warning

Several flights canceled at Haneda airport.

Over 6 inches of rain in an hour. Heavy flooding in many areas of Tokyo.

Kita ward, Arakawa ward, Taito ward, Sumida ward, Shibuya ward.

You may get stranded.

It's really cold, isn't it?

HEAVY RAIN RPECIAL WARNING - Cumulonimbi keep gathering above Tokyo...

In just an hour, it's like a different season.

I repeat,

a Heavy Rain Special Warning has been issued in the Tokyo area.

The low-pressure system over the Kanto region...

Because of a stream of cold air over Kanto, very unstable weather...

More heavy rain in central Japan even after dawn.

This abnormal weather will continue for a few weeks.

This abnormal weather is unprecedented and extremely dangerous.

IKEBUKURO TRAIN DELAYS

Due to transportation delays, Yamanote line trains are suspended.

What the heck?

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

It's freezing.

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 ID?

LOVE HOTEL - We can't accept unaccompanied minors.

It's not a matter of money.

It's no place for kids.

You guys...

Are you runaways?

Sis, Hodaka. Look!

Snow?

COLD DRINK

MIDSUMMER SNOW

Hina-san is connected with the sky...?

It's freezing!

Hey Kei-chan, it's snowing in August.

The world's finally gone crazy.

Oh?

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

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

Asuka.

Asuka-san. You too, Kei-chan. Smile.

HEATER

You look like an old man, Kei-chan.

You know, once you grow old

you can't switch your priorities anymore.

What are you saying? Where's Hodaka-kun?

You kicked him out? I can't believe it!

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

So, you smoked a pack of cigarettes and got drunk because you felt guilty.

That's so uncool, meow.

Even Rain's saying it.

Really uncool. So last century. Can you stay away? You smell old.

You're uncool too. What's her name... Hina-chan?

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 was true...

If you could fix this crazy weather with one human sacrifice, I'd be happy.

Everyone would.

A Heavy Rain and Heavy Snow Warning has been issued.

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

HEAVY RAIN SPECIAL WARNING - Please follow local government evacuation instructions.

You kids, wait!

It's dangerous to walk around unsupervised.

Are you all siblings?

Err...

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-san.

Run away.

Hey! Wait!

Stop!

- Gotcha! - Let me go!

Resisting arrest.

- Let me go! - Stop struggling.

Hodaka!

Stop!

Hina-san.

Please!

It's dangerous.

Hina-san, let's go.

- 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.

It's so warm.

What's this?

- Wow! - Amazing.

Switch.

There's a lot of stuff.

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

- Are you sure? - I got severance pay.

Sis, we're having a gorgeous dinner tonight.

Looking forward to it.

FRIED CHICKEN

Here I am.

Welcome back.

Thanks for the food.

Let me try that, Hodaka.

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

Sis, I want some too.

Isn't it too early, Hodaka?

Tastes yummier if you wait only two minutes.

Dear god, if you really exist, I beg you.

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

We'll manage somehow.

So please, don't give us anything more,

and don't take anything more from us.

I beg you please, dear god.

Let us be together like this forever

Hina-san.

Happy 18th birthday.

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

Thanks.

Tell me...

Hodaka, would you like this rain to stop?

Yes.

I was chosen to be a human sacrifice.

Natsumi-san 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-san.

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.

I was still on the Island.

I wanted to leave.

I was rushing desperately, trying to reach the light.

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

Then I decided I wanted to enter that light

and at the edge of if, I found you.

I had a dream.

The day I met you.

You looked like a lost kitten.

But you've found a meaning for my existence.

I kept working as the sunshine gir! Cos I was happy to make people smile.

I'm really glad I've met you.

So, don't cry, Hodaka.

What is this place?

Hodaka...

Hina-san?

Hina-san, where are you?

Hina-san.

- Hina-san? - What's wrong, Hodaka?

Hina-san's disappeared.

I just dreamt... 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 suspected of unlawful possession of a weapon.

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

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

- Hodaka! - Senpai.

Don't struggle.

Keep going.

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

It seems unreal.

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

By 8 a.m., the temperature was already over 25°C.

Many areas around the Arakawa river are flooded.

The transport system is still paralyzed...

The extent of the damage has yet to be assessed.

Take a few days at least for recovery.

Everyone looks happy under the clear blue sky.

FIRST SUNSHINE IN 72 DAYS - Everyone looks happy under the clear blue sky.

- Hey, look at the sky. - Is it for real?

- It's sunny. - It cleared up!

The sky's so clear.

I feel like crying.

Finally, real summer has arrived.

What are you doing?

Hina-san...

Sacrificed herself.

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

Hina-san!

I've got a question.

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

Do you know where she is?

Hina-san is 15,

not 18

She faked her resume at work.

I guess she had to make a living, but she's still in middle school.

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 an expert medical witness?

It's clear

Daaady! Did you look outside?

Yeah, I did.

I dreamt of Hina-chan.

I'm sure it was her who brought the sunshine again.

Yeah.

Maybe you're right.

IKEBUKURO POLICE STATION

Excuse me.

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

What?

Let me go look for Hina-san. 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 Yasui-san, we'll interrogate him now.

Yes, sir.

Hey! Wait!

Wait!

Someone stop him!

Stop!

- That brat! - Don't let him get out of here.

Stop!

Wait!

Stop!

Bastard.

What the hell?!

Cheeky bastard.

Cross the street.

Darn!

Hodaka-kun.

- Natsumi-san? - What are you doing?

I'm going to find Hina-san.

Get on.

That brat!

Nagi-kun called.

He said Hina-chan has 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?

Ayane Hanazawa

oh, another girl.

He's popular.

VISITING ROOM

Nagi-kun.

Ayane! You're here too.

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

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

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

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

TODAY'S MEETING RECORD

Thank you so much for coming.

Sorry for the sudden news.

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

Same for me. My heart's still pounding.

Nagi-kun, touch and feel it.

Oh, you're right.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

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

Huh?

I need the toilet.

Oh, okay.

Thanks, I owe you one.

Jeez. You even call your ex when you need something.

Here.

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

Keisuke Suga-san.

Thanks 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.

There's no one in there.

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

Huh? He ran away?

From the police station?

A derelict building in Yoyogi?

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...

Oh, no!

You, on that bike! Stop!

Hold tight!

Whoa!

Natsumi-san!

Am I awesome or what? I think t 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'M GOING SHOPPING ASUKA

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 meet so badly.

Makes me feel a bit envious.

There's not much point in telling me that.

Suga-san, you...

Huh?

Are you okay?

Why?

Well, you are...

Crying.

Oh, no.

We're jumping in!

Can't go any further.

Hodaka-kun, go.

Thank you, Natsumi-san.

Hodaka!

Run!

Hina-san. Hina-san. Hina-san. Hina-san!

Hina-san, are you there? Hina-san!

Hodaka.

It clear up now.

It's for you.

You've eaten that for dinner three nights in a row.

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

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

Younger than me.

I'll be 18 next month.

HINA'S BIRTHDAY - I'll be 18 next month.

You should treat me with respect.

Are you hungry, Hodaka?

Sit there and relax.

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.

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-san, I'm sorry.

I made you do that sunshine girl thing.

You've shouldered all responsibility.

Tell me...

Hodaka.

Would you like this rain to stop?

Suga-san?

I was looking for you, Hodaka.

Why?

Do you realize what you're doing?

Hina-san'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 heaven 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.

Go back to the police station.

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

If you keep running away, it'll be too late. You know that.

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-san.

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 all know nothing. You pretend you do.

I just want to see her...

Once more!

Got him!

Morishima-senpai!

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

Huh? Yeah.

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

So, possibly, this is...

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...

Er

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

Huh?

That summer of three years ago,

I was arrested, Ana 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 where I was supposed to live.

But, I just kept quietly waiting for graduation.

I haven't ..

Seen Hina-san since that day.

I have no idea what I'll think

seeing Tokyo after it changed,

nor what I'll say to her.

Tomorrow's weather for the Kanto region.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE GUIDE

It will rain again all day.

SUNSHINE FOR YOU

It's still there.

1 REQUEST

It was a sunshine girl request

from two years ago.

Next stop, Takashimaaaira.

Look who's here. Are you alone?

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?

Um...

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 that...

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

But, that day we...

You two caused this? You changed the world?

Bullshit. Don't flatter yourself, dummy.

Look, I went on a date with my daughter.

But, Natsumi and Nagi were in the way.

Stop brooding over stupid stuff and go see her.

Why haven't you?

I was on probation. 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 house.

Thank you for your time.

Come back again.

Hey.

Don't sweat it, young man.

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.

The world's always been crazy.

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

Is this what I should say to her?

♪ I was about to cry ♪

♪ cause I can see ♪

♪ how you carry the world ♪

♪ on your tiny shoulders ♪

No. That's not it

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

I made a choice.

I've chosen her. I've chosen this world. T've chosen fo live here.

Hina-san!

Hodaka!

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Yeah.

Hina-san, I'm sure...

We're gonna be okay.

Hope you enjoyed the movie! Namikage
