A Distant Neighborhood (Manga) | comment |
To a Distant Town (original title ���町�) is a Seinen manga by Jiro Taniguchi, which ran in Big Comic from 1998 to 1999.Nakahara Hiroshi is a middle aged Salaryman, who feels disconnected from his wife and children, and is haunted by a sense of existential failure. One early morning, after a night out, he takes the wrong commuter train home and ends up in the suburban town where he spent his early life. On a whim, he decides to visit his mother's grave, and while he prays in front of it, he passes out.He wakes up feeling oddly different. He's shorter and lighter than he's been in decades. Looking at his reflection, he realizes he has been sent back in time, and he is once again a 14-year-old boy. He must re-adapt to the school and family life of a teenager in the early 1960s, all the while trying to figure out why his father mysteriously disappeared that summer, never to return.The story was adapted to movie format in 2010 with the French film Quartier Lointain, which moved the setting to 1960s France. Taniguchi got a cameo in it. | |

Time-Travel Romance | |
A Distant Neighborhood (Manga) / int_10de0193 | comment |
Time-Travel Romance: Meshed together with Age-Down Romance. Hiroshi travels back to his teenage years and accidentally attracts the interest of Tomoko Nagase, a beautiful and studious girl who in his original timeline had never even spoken to him. Tomoko soon falls for him, and while Hiroshi doesn't properly reciprocate, he doesn't dissuade her from pursuing him, either. That said, he is also quite attracted to Mrs Shimada's pretty barmaid, who of course thinks he's just a kid and pays him no mind. | |

Annoying Younger Sibling: Hiroshi's kid sister Kyoko. As a real teen he got along reasonably well with her, but as an adult in a teen's body he no longer has any patience for her. | |

Likes Older Women: Good grief, Daisuke. He takes seemingly no notice of girls his own age, but is quick to comment on beautiful older women like Kazue or Tamiko, and he even takes his mother's barmaid out on a "date". He seems to think he and Hiroshi have this in common, which technically isn't inaccurate. | |

Missed Him by That Much: Hiroshi accidentally bumps shoulders with an old man as he's boarding his train to Tokyo. He absent-mindedly apologizes before it hits him that the old man looks quite a bit like his father. The train door closes before he can do anything about it, however, and he can only watch his father disappear again as the train rolls out of the station. | |

The Alcoholic: In his forties, Hiroshi is frequently derided by his family for being a drunk, and being hungover is actually what causes him to board the wrong train. It is hinted at that Hiroshi drinks to cope with the grief of his mother's untimely death, and his father's disappearance. | |

How Dad Met Mom: Hiroshi's grandmother tells him this story when he asks her about a memorial tablet on the family altar, dedicated to a man he doesn't know. The man in question is Shinichi Kotani, his mother's first husband, who met Hiroshi's father in the army and saved his life. Shinichi was killed in action and Yoshio made it his sworn duty to bring his remains back home to his family. He and Shinichi's widow bonded over their grief, and fell into something that somewhat resembled love. | |

Or Was It a Dream?: When Hiroshi at last gets back to 1998, he checks his watch to realize that it has only been a couple of minutes since he collapsed, despite the fact that five months went by during his involuntary time travel; this leads him to wonder if he just fell asleep. Daisuke's gift at the end, which is addressed to "the time traveller", hints that it may not have all been a dream. | |

When he walks Tomoko home after they get acquainted in the school library, and it hits him that nothing of the sort had ever happened in his original timeline. When he drinks himself into a stupor at Daisuke's and regains consciousness hours later; Daisuke then informs him that his mother rang Hiroshi's house, and that his father is on his way to pick him up. When it dawns on him that he, a 48 year old man with a wife and two children, is falling for Tomoko, a girl barely older than his own daughter. | |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue | |
A Distant Neighborhood (Manga) / int_b77808f2 | comment |
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Zig-zagged in that Hiroshi gives the reader a running commentary of what happened to his family and old schoolfriends in the original timeline, which does count as an epilogue on their side of the story. Hiroshi's little sister Kyoko went to business school before joining a insurance firm in Tottori, where she eventually met her future husband. She's now a 45 year old housewife with three children. Tomoko eventually married a diplomat, and now lives abroad. Takashi turned his love of manga into a profession, and his works are enjoyed by schoolchildren all over Japan. Masao was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident when he was 16. Daisuke became a respected novelist under the pen name Daizaburo Horie. | |

Struggling Single Mother: Kazue becomes this after Yoshio disappears from her and the children's lives, working herself to the bone to keep the family afloat, never remarrying, never complaining about her situation, to the point where her already dodgy health ends up drastically declining, and she dies at only 48 years old. | |

Calling the Old Man Out | |
A Distant Neighborhood (Manga) / int_e52a0409 | comment |
Calling the Old Man Out: Hiroshi gives in to thirty years of pent up resentment and sadness by giving his father quite the verbal dressing down when he intercepts him at the station, detailing exactly how things are going to be after he's gone and just how selfish he is for abandoning his wife and children. | |

Geeky Turn-On: Hiroshi's newfound interest in his studies and particular ease with foreign languages sparks the interest of Tomoko, the prettiest girl in his year, who is no slouch in the language department herself. | |

Get Back to the Future | |
A Distant Neighborhood (Manga) / int_f355be61 | comment |
Get Back to the Future: Hiroshi tries this exactly once, by praying at the family grave the way he did before he was sent back in time. It doesn't work. | |
