Maiden Japan Announces License of Myself; Yourself
HOUSTON, November 14, 2013 — You can never go home again. Or can you? Find out in Maiden Japan's latest acquisition: Myself; Yourself. This 13 episode series about the long journey home is directed by QZo (A Bridge to the Starry Skies) and features character designs by Tomoya Hiratsuka (Shin Koihime Musō) and series composition by Go Zappa (NAKAIMO - My Little Sister Is Among Them!).
Before his family left the town of Sakuranomori, Sana Hidaka said farewell to his best friends, thinking that he would never see them again. Five years later, however, he finds himself returning to Sakuranomori to finish high school while living alone in an apartment owned by his parents. Can the threads of friendship severed by time be mended? Will his friends even recognize him? Or have the changes in their lives as they've grown from children to teenagers made them into different people, pushing them even further apart? For Sana and his best bud Syusuke, it will be strange enough. But with Nanaka, Aoi and Syusuke's twin Syuri all being girls, things are going to get even more complex. That's to say nothing of the sometimes shocking secrets that his four friends know through having lived them, and that Sana will only discover in crossing the minefield of lost years. What once was can never be exactly as it was in treasured memories, but what could be may become even more precious as life moves inexorably forward. The past becomes the future as the flames of friendship rekindle in MYSELF; YOURSELF.
Maiden Japan will be distributing Myself; Yourself in conjunction with home video distributor Section 23 (Clannad, Highschool of the Dead, Appleseed,) on subtitled DVD and in digital formats.
