Beyond the Boundary: I'll Be Here – Past
Directed by Taichi Ishidate
Produced by Kyoto Animation
A supernatural romance-action story centered on two isolated outsiders finding connection and purpose through each other, balancing melancholy isolation with warmth and hope.
It all began quite suddenly. Akihito, who appears human but is actually half yomu with the power to quickly heal himself, sees a freshman girl who appears ready to jump from the school rooftop. The girl, Mirai, who has the ability to manipulate blood, which is unique even among members of the spirit world, continues to fight her isolation. Akihito decides at that moment to save Mirai, but disturbing events soon begin to unfold.
