Makoto is a regular high school student who spends her time playing baseball with her two best friends, Chiaki and Kousuke. She hopes to be friends with them forever and to stay like this, but after almost getting killed in a train crossing accident, Makoto develops an ability to "time leap." She initially uses it for her personal benefit, but as Makoto realizes the extent of the past she is changing and how it affects others, she must try to fix the error of her ways before any permanent--or even ''fatal''--wrongs occur.
 
----
 
* {{spoiler|[[Bittersweet Ending]]: While Makoto knows of Chiaki's feelings for her and eventually reciprocates these feelings, it is likely too late for them to get together because we don't know how far in the future Chiaki's era is, or if Makoto can reach him through waiting for his time or using another time-related device.}}
Line 23 ⟶ 18:
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: The [[UST]] between Makoto and Chiaki.
* [[Girl Next Door]]
* [[Green -Eyed Epiphany]]: Makoto only begins to realize her feelings for Chiaki {{spoiler|once he starts dating Yuri.}}
* [[Inelegant Blubbering]]: It may be a little [[Narm|Narmy]], but it doubles as a [[Tear Jerker]] because every time Makoto cries, there's a heartbreaking reason for it.
* {{spoiler|[[I Will Find You]]}}
Line 29 ⟶ 24:
* [[Late for School]]
* [[The Matchmaker]]: Manages to match-make Kousuke and Kaho together {{spoiler|though it takes a while for her, from getting them to have a [[Meet Cute]] moment to attempting to prevent their deaths when they are killed by a train crossing accident.}}
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Many of Makoto's time leaps are for her own personal gain, and the changes she creates in the time line begin to have an effect with her relationships with Chiaki and Kousuke--{{spoiler|''especially'' Chiaki.}} Not to mention affecting the sanity of one of her classmates.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Claims to only see Chiaki and Kousuke as friends, is blindsided when Chiaki asks her out, and seems unaware of any feelings Kousuke has for her--not to mention being slow to realize her own feelings for Chiaki.
* [[Ordinary High School Student]]
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: And Makoto has to learn this the hard way.
* {{spoiler|[[Star -Crossed Lovers]]: Makoto and Chiaki.}}
* [[Three Amigos]]: Chiaki, Kousuke, and Makoto.
* [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone]]
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Makoto is the Tomboy to Yuri's Girly Girl.

----
* [[Always Save the Girl]]: From defending Makoto from insults to {{spoiler|stepping into the way so she won't get hit by a fire extinguisher}} to {{spoiler|using his final remaining time leap so she isn't crying in pain (and so Kousuke and Kaho won't die from a train crossing accident).}}
* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: {{spoiler|And Chiaki doesn't even ''know'' how many attempts he had asked Makoto out thanks to her constant time leaping to ''avoid'' it.}}
Line 59 ⟶ 52:
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: The [[UST]] between Makoto and Chiaki.
* [[First -Name Basis]]: In a flashback {{spoiler|of when Chiaki transfers into Makoto's class and the friendship between Makoto, Chiaki, and Kousuke develops}}, Kousuke lampshades it when Chiaki first calls Makoto by her first name. This is interesting because {{spoiler|when Chiaki starts to date Yuri, he still calls her "Hayakawa-san," unlike Yuri, who calls Chiaki, "Chiaki-kun." He only calls Yuri, "Yuri-chan" once while talking about going to a nighters game with her to Makoto and Kousuke, though it was more to tease Makoto than really changing to first name basis.}} Makoto seems to be the only girl Chiaki is really informal with, though the reason as to why is quite obvious.
* {{spoiler|[[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]}}
* [[Foil]]: To Kousuke.
* [[Heroes Want Redheads|Heroines Want Redheads]]: Just ask Makoto. And her friend Yuri.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Chiaki uses his final remaining time leap to prevent the deaths of Kousuke and Kaho at the train crossing and so Makoto isn't in pain trying to stop them, knowing full well that by doing so will cause him to disappear.}}
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* {{spoiler|[[I Will Wait for You]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Last Girl Wins|Last Guy Wins]]}}
Line 73 ⟶ 66:
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Initially oblivious to Yuri's feelings for him {{spoiler|and by the end of the film is still oblivious to her feelings because of the recent time leaps.}}
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]]
* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: Chiaki attempts this with Makoto, {{spoiler|but she time leaps to avoid it.}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Reveal]]: Chiaki is from the future and the original user of the device that allowed Makoto to time leap. He came from an era where some kind of catastrophe may have decimated mankind, and the only reason Chiaki came to Makoto's time is to see a painting that was destroyed in his era and is currently being restored in hers. However, as time grew on, Chiaki began to love the present time in spite of the dwindling moments he had of remaining there.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Star -Crossed Lovers]]: Makoto and Chiaki.}}
