Karada Iokawa hates treated as a kid and she secretly wants is to be a grown up so that she would no longer be a burden to her older brother Hiro.
On the other side, Shoko Nogami, Hiro's ex-girlfirend, envies and somehow hates Karada (I guess..) 'cause Hiro left her in America just to look after her younger sister who lost both of her parents, even though, unknown to Karada, they aren't blood-related. Unknown to herself, he wishes to be a child.
One breezy night, when they meet accidentally at the shrine where they both make their wishes to the wishing stone--the thing Karada believes that grant wishes, they suddenly exchange ages--Shoko's body becomes a body of an eleven years old while Karada became a grown up!
How will they accept what happened to them?
Started airing in Japan between October 5 and December 21, 2006 on TBS,and was produced by J.C. Staff, Asatte no Houkou (A Direction of the Day After Tomorrow) is a 12-episode anime based on the manga of the same title penned by J-ta Yamada.
What makes it appealing is its smooth graphics--totally an eye candy!, awesome and alive-looking characters' eyes and most of all, its unique story.
Though I MUST ADMIT it has some usual anime cliches. And the story is so simple--no furthermore complications. It's disappointing 'cause if they focused on it, maybe they can make it much better. Since it is predicting and easily can be forgotten.Well, most slice of life and short anime are really forgetful.
The opening is good but not worth downloading. The ending song is a lot better.
If you want a relaxing slice of life with a bit of drama, then,why not give it a try?
