The film is seeing its release in North America handled by Eleven Arts and we’re now getting more on another version of it. The film saw a German release on February 23rd, 2023, and has now released their third dub clip from it below to give fans a taste of what it’s like compared to the other versions – with a little silliness dominating.

Plot Concept: “I want to experience a love that sparkles!” Arriving from Nagasaki with her wishful mantra is Tamaki Tsuru, who in high school could think only about volleyball. Things don’t begin well, however, when she looks for an extracurricular club to join and proceeds to immediately ding a glider at aviation club tryouts ending up having to work it off. She is initially disillusioned with campus life. Then Kuramochi, the club leader and glider pilot, takes Tamaki under his wing, and from the moment he takes her up for a flight in a glider, Tamaki becomes a captive of the vast beauty of the skies.
