5 Centimeters per Second

Takaki Tōno and Akari Shinohara grow up as close childhood friends, only to be separated by circumstances beyond their control. They promise to keep in touch, but as the years pass, time and distance steadily stretch the space between them—while their shared memories refuse to fade.

5 Centimeters per Second traces the quiet ache of a long-distance bond, focusing on the everyday moments where longing lingers and moving forward proves difficult. With the past always within reach, Takaki and Akari continue their lives carrying the hope of meeting again, even as that attachment weighs on them and those around them.
