Film adaptation of Eto Mori's beloved novel across generations and borders, Colorful. "Blank," a soul chosen by the mysterious "Guardian," stays in the body of Makoto Kobayashi, a high school student that has passed away around the same time. As a condition for the reincarnation, the Guardian imposes Blank to find out the reason for Makoto Kobayashi's death within 100 days. In that time, Blank must live Makoto's life without having the people around him realize that his soul has been replaced. A workaholic father, a grouchy older brother, and a kind mother who seems a bit distant around Makoto. Although Blank feels uneasy with his family, at school he enjoys spending time with his kind childhood friend, Akira, and also his crush, an older student named Mitsuki. Despite having no other friends, he is very skilled in art, and Blank starts to contemplate that living life as Makoto isn't so bad after all. Nonetheless, finding the truth about Makoto's cause of death seems to go nowhere. Then one day, Blank sees a sketchbook that Makoto had kept before his death. Inside, words from Makoto that reflect a glimmer of light and a large darkness is revealed, something that is not obvious from Makoto's life. The answer he managed to get from those words also end up not being the correct answer as time is running out until the deadline.
