## Synopsis

Sky of Love: Someone I love is there (2008) is a Japanese television miniseries created for TBS, adapted from a novel and told across six 48-minute episodes. An ordinary senior high school girl, Mika (Erena Mizusawa), meets Hiro, a showy boy with dyed hair and pierced ears played by Koji Seto, and the two pursue a pure, single-minded first love while a run of unimaginably sad incidents tests them. The engine of the drama is their stubborn devotion to each other against circumstance, and each episode carries that love through hardship, pregnancy-era upheaval and the quiet strength of family members who support them. Friends such as Aya (Aoi) and Saki (Haru) keep the high school world present in everyday scenes of school life and friendship. Set in contemporary Japan, the series moves at a melancholic, earnest pace and foregrounds warmth, affection and the importance of living. Its tone is melodramatic and tender, close to the emotional register of tearjerker school romances. Viewers who enjoy Taiyo no Uta and Ichi Rittoru no Namida will recognize the same blend of youthful romance and grief. It is a complete, self-contained story that plays as a focused emotional experience rather than a long saga.
