Notes

Classification drama

Synopsis Ayumu is staying with his father, who is the local vet, in a small town called Tama within sight of Mt. Fuji. It's summer, and it's boring, except that Ayumu's new mountain bike has arrived. It seems that his parents are separated and his mother lives in Yokohama. His father has been checking over a stray cat.
Ayumu meets various other characters who have some role in the story - a small girl and her mother, one or two pretty teenage girls, a youth on a motorcycle, and the elderly director of the nearby astronomical observatory. Ayumu is asked about a one-eared stray cat, which the little girl calls 'Okaka-Babaa' - in fact he saw it in his father's backyard. Ayumu sees a strange light outside his room, and next day meets a strange little girl in a yellow raincoat, down by the river, who is playing with more of the lights, and a flying plastic toy-like thing that appears and de-materialises - and then the girl disappears!

Review An exquisitely crafted and measured opening to a story that promises to be supernatural and very weird. Looks like one to watch.
