Tokyo Aero Chocolate

Tokyo Marble Chocolate, Boy's part: Incidental intersection

One of the problems with really bad lag is that when you finally get to the platform, the train has long since left the station. Having watched Tokyo Marble Chocolate a little over a year after its release, and with a latency of a little less than that for the bulk of entries on the show, the probability that anyone would to care to answer my question is vanishingly small. But since almost zero is not zero, I'll ask anyway.

See Figure 1 (i.e. the only one). That is Chizuru's cellphone, is it not. It is Chizuru that is supposed to be on the other end, is it not. Yet how is that possible? When you put events together, she is either at the Internet cafe or on her way home.

Is there something I'm missing?

P.S.

If you (or Yuu) have the presence of mind to repeatedly call someone's cell, you can also spare a moment to call that person's landline and leave a message, especially if you know that the cell is not exactly in that person's possession.

Caveat: requires a landline. But do you mean to tell me that phone-like unit on the wall was just an intercom? That's one fancy intercom, then. I've only ever seen speakers embedded in a wall with a push-to-talk button.

To needlessly pad out this entry a bit, a list of cute commonalities.

  • The rabbit on Chizuru's cellphone, and the pet rabbit that was intended to be a present
  • The boy and his grandmother, holding a mini-donkey shaped balloon
  • The guy that both Chizuru and Yuudai run into
  • The same mini-donkey shaped balloon floats over Yuudai as he washes clothes
