On Monday, November 22, 2010, ten missiles strike Japan, but cause no casualties. This apparent terrorist act is referred to as "Careless Monday" and is eventually forgotten by the populace. The series begins three months later when Saki Morimi, a senior at university, visits Washington D.C. as part of her graduation trip. When she gets into trouble, a mysterious young Japanese man appears completely naked except for a gun and a cell phone, and rescues her. The man has lost his memory, but learns that he has a bunch of fake passports at his apartment; he chooses the Japanese one which names him Akira Takizawa. While he and Saki return to Japan, they learn that a new missile has hit.

Own opinion:

I really don’t know why I categorized this on drama. This anime is not that really popular but I want you to watch it. Not only because of the hints of romance and a little drama, but also because of the mystery in it. In this show there are this very mysterious plot that will leave you to watch everything, until the end. I completed this show by watching the series and the three movies and I also read the novels. And before I knew it, I fell in love wth the show. :) Hope you will all feel like that too, after watching it. It has its faults but it also has many good points.
