Cyborg She
Synopsis
It is November the 22nd, 2007. Jirou Kitamura (Keisuke Koide) is spending his 20th birthday alone. As he is buying a birthday present for himself in a department store, he catches sight of a 'cute girl' (Haruka Ayase). The girl, who also seems interested in him, follows him to a restaurant for his birthday meal, during which she suddenly states that it's 'her birthday too'. The two of them therefore exchange birthday presents. The girl, who seems unused to things as they are, behaves and speaks in a very bold manner- so much so that she rushes Jirou out of the restaurant without paying and provokes a chase after them throughout Tokyo. As the hijinks ensue, Jirou finds himself charmed by the girl. Unfortunately, after a few hours, the girl insists that she has to leave. After some mysterious words to him, she runs away, leaving him bemused.
It then moves back to November the 22nd, 2008. Exactly one year on from his 20th birthday, Jirou is celebrating his 21st birthday by himself in the same restaurant he ate in with the girl the previous year. All of a sudden, a girl the spitting image of her appears in front of him. This girl, however, has been sent to save him from a disastrous fate by a crippled future version of himself- she is, as his future self describes her, a cyborg modelled after the girl he met a year ago. Thus Jirou's strange life with the girl begins. Despite her 'cute' outward appearance, she is incredibly strong, and her behaviour is erratic and otherworldly in comparison to other people's. She comes to Jirou's aid whenever he is in a difficult situation, and indeed saves many other people's lives alongside his through her intervention.
Over time, Jirou not only becomes dependent on her, but also begins to fall for her. However, when it seems that she cannot return his feelings in the same way as he expresses them, he becomes irritated and forbids her to show herself in front of him again unless she can do so. He gradually regrets this, especially when it seems she is still doing things for him despite not being by his side. However, another disastrous incident which his future self hinted that he would have to suffer soon shows itself: a gigantic earthquake which completely devastated Tokyo as he knows it. As his apartment block collapses, the girl once again appears in order to help him- but this time, even her inhuman strength isn't enough to let her completely escape the consequences. After telling Jirou that she now understands his feelings, she is destroyed, and a distraught Jirou spends the next 61 years of his life trying to rebuild her. He eventually succeeds, although he passes away not too long afterwards.
In that future time, a girl is alerted by one of her friends that there is a cyborg on display that looks just like her. Upon realising that this is the case, she becomes increasingly curious about the situation, even going so far as to buy the now-shut down cyborg and experience the memories she had stored in her hard-drive. Feeling more intrigued than ever, she fulfils her wish of going back in time to meet the creator of the cyborg- Jirou Kitamura- on his 20th birthday in 2007...
