Description
Mirai, an infant mysteriously transported from 2007 to 1992 by a lightning strike disrupting electronics, is the future daughter of Natsumi Mizuki—who is only in fourth grade in this past year. Stranded in the wrong time, young Natsumi must care for her own child.
Mirai arrives with a heart-shaped communication device and a neck clasp transmitting her emotional state. Through the device, her future mother pleads with her past self and Aunt Izumi to protect Mirai until her return can be arranged, warning them to keep her existence secret to prevent time paradoxes.
Depicted as a typical human baby, Mirai cries to express needs like hunger or discomfort. Her cries unexpectedly help Natsumi discover a specific flute tone needed for a school performance. Mirai also forms attachments, showing particular fondness for Daisuke Yamaguchi, hinting at his future role as her father.
As an infant, Mirai lacks independent agency. Her presence primarily drives Natsumi's growth and the evolving co-parenting relationship with Aunt Izumi. Keeping Mirai hidden from friends, neighbors, and authorities to avoid temporal consequences creates episodic challenges, including a baby mix-up at a clinic.
The series concludes with Mirai returning to her original timeline in 2007. Her life after this return, her experiences growing up, or appearances beyond the original series remain undocumented.
