Now and Then, Here and There
今、そこにいる僕 , Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku
Shu is a typical Japanese boy, but he has an unbeatable, optimistic, and determined attitude. However, when he sees a mysterious girl with strange eyes named Lala-Ru up on a smokestack, he is soon pulled into a strange desert world. Shu soon discovers the true terrors of war, which include genocide, brutal torture, hunger, thirst, and child exploitation. Now Shu is trying to save Lala-Ru, as well as his hard-earned, and often reluctant, new friends from the insane dictator, Hamdo. Whether Shu can possibly save those he cares about while still holding to his values remains to be seen.
