About Living for the Day After Tomorrow

Living for the Day After Tomorrow (あさっての方向。) arrives as a drama anime by J.C.STAFF (2006), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: There are far worse things than having to deal with your ex-boyfriend's little sister or your older brother's ex-girlfriend. But that's something Karada Iokawa and Shoko Nogami have to learn the hard way when a magic wishing stone inexplicably grants Karada's wish to be older - and does it by stealing the years from Shoko!

As things develop, now Shoko, who's already graduated and studied overseas, is Karada's age, just about to enter junior high school. Meanwhile Karada must without warning face the real facts about what being grown up entails. Just to make a bizarre situation even more awkward, there's the issue of how to handle their existing romantic interests!

As a drama title, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Karada Iokawa (Ayumi Fujimura) and Shouko Nogami (Shizuka Itou) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
