Synopsis

It’s summer break and the Sci-Fi Study Circle are playing baseball while the cutesy Ito is taking photographs. At the same time, another shutterbug named Shibata is developing pictures in a darkroom next to the SF Study Circle’s base of operations. One member, the shy Komoto, has a thing for Shibata, so he buys two tickets to a sci-fi movie in the hopes he can convince her to come along. When he returns to the clubhouse, however, things start to get strange when the air conditioning remote goes on the fritz.

The next day, a stranger appears, as does an oddly familiar-looking device. The stranger abruptly vanishes, but the time machine he leaves behind remains! One club member decides to hop aboard, sets course for the previous day, and begins his journey into the past, a move that will no doubt alter the future and rip the very fabric of the space time continuum. Can the SF Study Circle boys get everything back to the way it was? —YesAsia
