Just Arrived

The Place Promised in Our Early Days

by Makoto Shinkai, Arata Kanoh
RM41.00 MYR
The Place Promised in Our Early Days
The Place Promised in Our Early Days

Melancholic alternate-history anime dreamers and lost promises

If you like wistful stories that feel suspended between memory and possibility, this one has a haunting pull. The alternate-history setting gives it a striking emotional backdrop, but what really stays with you is the quiet ache of friendship, first love, and a promise that starts to feel larger than life. It reads like a beautiful, lonely dream you keep turning over afterward.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In a Cold War-era alternate history, a power has partitioned the northern island of Japan, cutting it off from the rest of the country. Across the strait, Hiroki is drawn to a mysterious tower on the unreachable island, and he and his friend Takuya decide to build a plane to see it. As they work, a girl named Sayuri becomes part of their lives, and they vow to fly to the tower one day. But when she disappears without a trace, their promise is left unfulfilled—perhaps forever.
