Now and Then, Here and There

Finished

今、そこにいる僕

Shu is a typical Japanese boy with an unbeatable, optimistic and determined attitude. One day, he sees a mysterious girl with strange eyes named Lala-Ru sitting atop a smokestack and tries to befriend her. When she is kidnapped by a woman accompanied by serpentine machines, Shu is pulled into a strange desert world.

In this dystopian land, water is scarce and Lala-Ru can manipulate it using her pendant. The pendant is lost, and Shu becomes the prime suspect. He soon discovers the true terrors of war, including genocide, brutal torture, hunger, thirst, and child exploitation. Now Shu must try to save Lala-Ru and his reluctant new friends from the insane dictator Hamdo, while holding onto his values.
