A girl who is bored with her everyday life runs away after an argument with her mother. She ends up spending the night in an abandoned tunnel, and when she wakes up, she finds herself in 1945 Japan, right in the middle of the war. There, she meets Akira, a Japanese suicide bomber, who helps her when she falls ill from hunger and sunstroke. This story had great potential and could have been something truly powerful. But the execution feels amateurish. It tackles heavy and controversial topics like war and kamikaze pilots, which come with a lot of moral weight. The story tries to address theseissues but doesn’t go deep enough. It also tiptoes around the ultra-nationalist mindset of that time, never really committing to say anything meaningful about it. Basically, it brings up these complex topics but doesn't handle them properly.

That said, the core of the story is a tragic romance — and that part mostly works. The emotional connection is there, and most of the characters are written fairly well.
