~*Please Save My Earth*~
~*Please Save My Earth; Boku No Chikyuu Wo Mamotte*~
It consists of two frames of narratives and time lines: "now" that takes place in Tokyo, and the past that took place on the moon. Alice Sakaguchi is a highschool girl, who is too shy and sensitive to survive in Tokyo. She comes to know two boys, Jinpachi and Issei, who tell her that they have strange dreams about seven scientists on the moon. After Alice has the same kind of dream and they find two more "moon dreamers," they start to collect bits and pieces of the dreams and reconstruct the story. They seem to have reincarnated, and thus remember the past from different perspectives. Rin, a 7-year-old boy living in Alice's nextdoor, starts to remember the past and have ESP. In order to "destroy the moon base" where the alien scientists' corpses lie, he tries to collect the other members' passwords to activate the base via Tokyo Tower. But his true purpose is to avenge on Haruhiko for what Shuukaido (Haruhiko's past) did to Shion (Rin's past), and to control people rather imperialistically to "save" the Earth by using the moon base and stopping the insane repetitions of wars, hunger, murders, etc. His plan for "saving the Earth" is to use Alice's voice, which inherits Mokuren's ability to control (esp. grow) plants, in order to perform the "God" and control human minds to stop human stupidities.
Fragments of "Moon Dream" appear throughout the story of "now.": Seven scientists from various fields make a team to research on the Earth, a boring, marginal backward planet. Gyokuran (Jinpachi) and Shion (Rin) have been rivals since little: Gyokuran loves justice, heroic acts, friends and family. Shion, on the other hand, was an orphan who survived the wars on a marginal planet by killing people using his unusual psychic power. Although his caretakers at church try to teach him how violence is bad, Shion "knows" that adults are killing each other, and it is not the word but the war that is the only solution to our current problems. He is solitary and sarcastic. Gyokuran is jelous of Shion's abilities, and Shion is jelous of Gyokuran's being beloved by everyone.
Mokuren (Alice) also has a solitary childhood. Born as "Kiches" (=one blessed by God), she has been separated from parents and trained as Kiches. Kiches are rare people who have four red dots on the forehead, and have ability to grow green by their songs. They are elites of the nation, and Mokuren, a tomboy, has been feeling alienated from both the elite society and common society. Her only friend is the beautiful blue planet called the Earth, and she has dreamt of the planet until she joins the team.
At the moon base, the scientists observe the Earth, but one day, the interstellar war comes to destroy the whole civilization of their home planet. Shion insists to go down to the Earth, but the others take his idea as dangerous and put him in confinement. Shion makes an offer of agreement to the team secretly to Mokuren in exchange for her virginity (Kiches stops being Kiches when they lose virginity!). Mokuren once agrees, but then rejects when Shion mentions Gyokuran. Shion rapes her anyway, but Mokuren's mark as Kiches does not dissapear even after sex. From Shion's viewpoint, his rape was to win Mokuren over Gyokuran, and on top of it, he simply wanted to be one with Mokuren. When he realizes that her Kiches mark is still on her forehead, he interprets that it is because Mokuren did not obey his obscene act. From Mokuren's viewpoint, she agreed to sex because she loved him and he said he loves her. But when she realizes that she is treated as Shion's tool to beat Gyokuran, she rejects. The fact that her Kiches mark remains makes her believe that he does not love her.
Soon after this incident, some virus spreads among them, and they start to die one by one. When only three of them, Shuukaido, Shion, and Mokuren are left, Shuukaido manages to make vaccine for one person, and injects it to Shion, saying that he gave the same vaccine to Mokuren also. Shuukaido himself is infected by this time. As a result, after Mokuren's death, Shion, totally alone in space, lives for 9 years until he becomes infected (this is why Rin is 9 years younger than the others). He goes insane, and creates some kind of machine.
Now: Rin cannot remember what Shion was making. It simply scares him, and he wants to destroy the moon base, while he wants to use it for his "save the Earth" project. The moon dream members come to realize that Rin's project is dangerous, and fight against him protecting Alice. They come to Tokyo Tower to stop Rin, and at this point, Rin remembers what Shion was making in his insanity. That was a kind of projector that creates her three-dimentional figure and repeats her song semi-permanently. That is, Rin's plan has already been realized. Her voice has always already been delivered to us. Rin and Alice also come to know Shion and Mokuren were misunderstanding each other's love. A happy end.
