Yuu's rebellion isn't romantic, it's desperate, born from suffocation so complete that turning a clock backwards feels like the only honest thing left to do. The 90s indie spirit here is real: a kid who refuses to fit into the machine watching everyone he knows insist the machine is love. By the end, you're not sure if he found freedom or just a different kind of trap, and the show doesn't rescue you from that doubt.

Yuu Shinozaki is tired of a life run by the clock, the one that only ever turns right. His independent outlook puts him at odds with his parents, his teachers and his childhood friend Aoi, and only his biker sister Moe really understands him. After a particularly bad day at school, Yuu gets on his motorbike and, with help from Moe's friend Tetsuo, leaves home to try a different way of living. He rides the length of Japan from his northern home while his family and Aoi worry about him back home. On the road he changes, lending a hand to the people he meets along the way. The two-episode drama OVA is adapted from Kaoru Shintani's manga.
