| The Mars Canons (Japan 2001) |
 |
This planet is always pitiful
but happy. |
|
Just like every romance is, modest and common days
are, in fact, very fragile, and it can be a miracle.
Because it should be full of joy and pain to be with
someone you love.
Kinuko, on the edge of her 30s, is in unfruitful love. Hijiri is in one-way love.
Their common life is delicate and fluctuate between happiness and cruelty. It's
just like a Canon played by the god of Mars, and it is played again and again.
