Summer Time Machine Blues

AKA
サマー タイム マシン ブルース
Samâ Taimumashin Burûsu

Summary

On a sweltering day during Summer of 2005, five members of a local Sci-Fi club - Takuma, Masaru, Shunsuke, Atsushi and Daigo - entertain themselves by clumsily playing Baseball out on the club’s field.

When they get back to the club they meet up with friends Haruka and Yui; exhausted and in need of a bath, an accident sees their beloved air conditioner remote control fizzle out after being doused in coca-cola.

Just then a time machine appears in their club house; where did it come from? Is it Mushroom boy’s? It’s probably just a joke they think, but upon closer inspection it turns out to be the real deal.

Suddenly the notion arrives that they can travel back in time by one day and save the remote control from disaster, thus being able to enjoy their prized air conditioner once more. But they soon learn that they must be careful as not to do anything that might alter the course of the future.

A simple enough task soon turns into a series of difficult events as the group try to avoid themselves in the past, while befriending a strangely familiar face of the future.
