This manga anthology was created as part of a charity with royalties donated for the reconstruction of areas affected by the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake (Higashi Nihon Daishinsai) disaster that struck Japan on March 11, 2011. *Note: The chapter count includes a prologue and an epilogue.*
This official novelization narrates from the other side—for instance, from the point-of-view of the girl rather than the boy in the legendary first segment, "Cherry Blossoms"—to tell a story that is both deeply engaging for first-timers and astonishingly fresh for fans of the film.
