21、e Story is set in Japan beginning from the 1990s and ending in modern day, with each segment centered on a boy named Takaki Tno.

22、 Cherry BlossomTakaki Tno quickly befriends Akari Shinohara when she transfers to his elementary school. They grow closer to each other due to similar interests and attitudes; for instance, they both prefer to stay inside during recess due to their seasonal allergies. As a result, they form a strong

23、 bond; they speak to each other using their given names without any form of honorifics, which is very unusual in Japan, even among people who are romantically involved. This fact is lost in the movies translation to English and other languages, which reduces the implied closeness of their relationsh

24、ip.Upon graduating from elementary school, Akari moves to Tochigi, due to her parents jobs. The two keep in contact by writing letters, but eventually begin to drift apart. When Takaki learns that his family will be moving to Kagoshima, he decides to personally go see Akari, since they will be too f

25、ar apart to visit each other at all after moving. He also prepares a letter for Akari, containing his feelings.

26、will never be together again. Stranded in a shed due to the snowstorm, they fall asleep after talking late into the night.

28、ge to confess her feelings. She tries to spend time with him, waiting long after school for the chance to travel home together. However, Takaki appears ignorant to Kanaes feelings and treats her as a good friend. Kanae observes that Takaki is always writing emails to someone, or staring off into the

29、 distance as if searching for something far, far away. It is later shown that Takakis emails are not being sent to anyone, and he has had recurring dreams which feature Akari. Despite Kanaes feelings, she eventually realizes that Takaki is looking at something far beyond what she can offer and decid
