The boy from episode 1 and 2 is the same. *I'm an idiot* and realized it after I did some google-ing about the last episode. (Yeah, I thought it was 2 different short love story)
ps. my first review.
Just gonna rate it a 10 coz I liked it. Haven't watched a lot of anime to grade the story, sound art, etc.
MAL asked me to add some more words. IGNORE WORDS BELOW
Takaki Toono and Akari Shinohara, two very close friends and classmates, are torn apart when Akari's family is transferred to another region of Japan due to her family's job. Despite separation, they continue to keep in touch through mail. When Takaki finds out that his family is also moving, he decides to meet with Akari one last time.
As years pass by, they continue down their own paths, their distance slowly growing wider and their contact with one another fades. Yet, they keep remembering one another and the times they have shared together, wondering if they will have the chance to meet once again.
