High school genius Yutaka Takai is sick and tired of being called "young" and feels embarrassed about what people would think if he and his girlfriend Mamiko Abe, two years his elder, were seen together. To solve his problem, Yutaka builds a time machine with the intent of going back in time two years in order to be the same age as Mamiko. Mamiko expressed her concerns about there being two Yutakas around, but Yutaka explains that his younger self will simply be erased from the time-stream. While Yutaka is distracted just before using the machine, Mamiko takes the machine, sets the dial for the future, and jumps off the school roof, telling Yutaka to "Wait for me". Alarmed, Yutaka discovers that Mamiko has set herself forward two years in time and that everyone, including Mamiko's family, is beginning to forget she ever existed. If Yutaka forgets, Mamiko will end up falling to her death at the school two years later. Despite Yutaka's best efforts, he too forgets about Mamiko's existence, although two years later something seems to be nagging at his mind. What was the important thing he had forgotten?
Yutaka Takai is a brilliant 15 year old high school inventor who is tired of being referred to as young and small. His older girlfriend, Mamiko Abe, attempts to cheer him up but with no luck. Yutaka requests for Mamiko to meet him on top of the school one night and shows off a jet pack he had demonstrated earlier at school that day. Yutaka explains that it is not just a jet pack, but a time machine as well. Yutaka wants to travel in time to where he's better suited for Mamiko and not young or small. While Yutaka isn't paying attention, Mamiko takes the time machine and uses it on herself, jumping off the school building and telling Yutaka to "Wait for me". Yutaka is dismayed by Mamiko's disappearance and frightened when he discovers everyone in town is beginning to forget Mamiko ever existed.

To solve his problem, Yutaka builds a time machine with the intent of going back in time two years in order to be the same age as Mamiko. Mamiko expressed her concerns about there being two Yutakas around, but Yutaka explains that his younger self will simply be erased from the time-stream. While Yutaka is distracted just before using the machine, Mamiko takes the machine, sets the dial for the future, and jumps off the school roof, telling Yutaka to "Wait for me". Alarmed, Yutaka discovers that Mamiko has set herself forward two years in time and that everyone, including Mamiko's family, is beginning to forget she ever existed. If Yutaka forgets, Mamiko will end up falling to her death at the school two years later. Despite Yutaka's best efforts, he too forgets about Mamiko's existence, although two years later something seems to be nagging at his mind. What was the important thing he had forgotten?

    Trivia

    • In the original manga story, Yutaka tells Shiozawa she reminds him of somebody, prompting Shiozawa to suggest she reminds him of Mamiko Takai. Mamiko Takai was a popular Japanese idol in the 1980s. The animated version was made in the 1990s, so it is assumed the animators replaced the reference with the scene with the little girl since the reference would be lost on more modern audiences.
