This was about 25 Minutes worth of sad...
Set in the future, It revolves around Mikako and Noboru. Middle school students and friends, Their relationship just blossoming into more... As Noboru is entering High School however Mikako is sent off to join the UN Army to fight Aliens.
Into space she goes, Sending Noboru texts with her cell... the delivery time lengthens the further she gets from earth. With Mikako being in space and Noboru on earth, Her rate of aging slows drastically...
As time goes by at a normal pace on Earth, Noboru grows older having tried and failed to move on with his life he still waits.. In the meantime he joins the Military to hopefully be reunited with Mikako someday.
In the end, Mikako {still 15/16}is over eight light-years from Earth and fighting the Enemy Alien and Noboru has now aged to 24 {+} and from what I gather is hoping to be going to rescue Mikako's group.
It's amazing how much emotion was packed into just 25 minutes... I really would like to think Noboru goes off into space and find Mikako so they can reunite. Even if he is nearly ten years older then her now...
