Now and Then, Here and There (1999)

Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku / 今、そこにいる僕

Information

Description

Shuzo “Shu” Matsutani is a hot-headed lad who has just suffered another defeat in Kendo class. The fact that his defence is useless angers him all the more, so he has to cool his temper on the way home. In the process, he discovers a strange blue-haired girl named Lala Ru and approaches her. However, their acquaintance is abruptly interrupted when time suddenly stands still, and Lala Ru is seized by strange soldiers. Shu’s attempts to help her ultimately only result in him being taken to the Hellywood battleship.

All attempts to escape fail: Lala Ru is captured, and a little later, Shu is also seized and brought before the seemingly insane dictator Hamdo. Hamdo not only has it in for Lala Ru but also her now missing pendant. Both together are the key to unlimited amounts of water – and there is almost none of that in the strange desert world in which Shu has apparently landed.

Shu now finds himself in the clutches of a regime that abducts boys to turn them into child soldiers and mercilessly abuses girls for breeding purposes. Shu, too, is forced to be a soldier and has to realise that the chances of escape are slim. Will he ever find his way home again?
Shuzo »Shu« Matsutani ist ein hitzköpfiger Bursche, der soeben im Kendo-Unterricht eine weitere Niederlage hat einstecken müssen. Die Botschaft, seine Verteidigung tauge nichts, ärgert ihn umso mehr, sodass er auf dem Heimweg erst mal sein Gemüt kühlen muss. Dabei entdeckt er ein seltsames blauhaariges Mädchen namens Lala Ru und spricht sie an. Das Kennenlernen wird allerdings jäh unterbrochen, als plötzlich die Zeit still steht und Lala Ru von fremdartigen Soldaten ergriffen wird. Shus Versuche, ihr zu helfen, bewirken letztendlich nur, dass auch er mit auf das Kampfschiff Hellywood gebracht wird.

Alle Fluchtversuche scheitern: Lala Ru wird erfasst, wenig später wird auch Shu ergriffen und vor den wahnsinnig erscheinenden Diktator Hamdo gebracht. Der hat es nicht nur auf Lala Ru, sondern auch auf ihren nun verschwundenen Anhänger abgesehen. Beides zusammen ist der Schlüssel zu unbegrenzten Mengen an Wasser – und davon gibt es in der merkwürdigen Wüstenwelt, in der Shu offenbar gelandet ist, ansonsten fast keines.

Shu befindet sich soeben in den Fängen eines Regimes, das Jungen verschleppt, um sie zu Kindersoldaten zu machen, und Mädchen erbarmungslos zu Zwecken der Zucht missbraucht. Auch Shu wird zum Soldatendasein gezwungen und muss erkennen, dass die Chancen auf Flucht schlecht stehen. Wird er seine Heimat je wiedersehen?
