Through the land over the sea, search all over the world you can find out one, a dead ringer for you. But they, both living in the crowd of 6 billion people, never meet as long as attracted each other...
Kazao is happy with his life on Mirai ("Future") Island. Sure, his parents abandoned him after he was born, leaving him to be raised at the orphanage-like facility, but his life is comfortable and has his friends, especially the lovely Eiko, the girl he loves. One night, however, he has a horrible nightmare where he sees himself die in a motorcycle accident. After that, everything changes. The next day, his parents are miraculously "found" and he is torn from his idyllic life and Eiko's side to be thrust into a world he knows only from television shows and school assignments. Dropped unceremoniously in the middle of a city with only a sketchy map for guidance, Kazao is saved from wandering aimlessly in search of his new home by the cute and forward Yuu, who turns out to be in his class at his new school as well. Despite his best efforts to accept his parents' sudden return and Yuu's friendly overtures, Kazao can't shake the feeling that things aren't quite right. Nor can he forget Eiko. Why did his parents wait sixteen years to call him back? And why is the piano the only used piece of furniture in his parents' new house? The mysteries begin to pile one atop the other as the lies fall apart in this intriguing story of future possibilities and innocent romance.

This is the one shot of the movie that Sana and Naozumi starred in from Kodomo no Omocha.
A 14 year old boy, after the loss of his parents, starts researching his older brother, who has mysteriously disappeared several years before. He finds him in a strange palace, with his two friends who had also disappeared. At first, the boy is happy, but then he discovers that something horrible has happened in that palace, and he might just become a victim too.
From Sura's Place:
The 12 animals of Zodiac are given powers to rule the time. However, the dog commits suicide, thus removing himself from his role. The rat and the cow attempt to find the 13th animal, the cat, to replace the dog.
However...
From Mangascreener:
The only common feature running through these stories is a grown-up protagonist somehow coming face-to-face with his childhood past, in a testament to the loss of youth, the disillusionment of growing old, and nostalgia for better times.
In the Adachi pantheon, this is a rare diametric view of his eternal theme of "youth," in this case youth as seen through the lens of the past. It's a powerful statement from Adachi that might even be an acknowledgment of his steadily-creeping age.
What is impressive about these stories is not the plots or characters themselves, but the absolutely perfect way he tells them, another facet of experience that comes with age. Most of the stories may require multiple readings to fully appreciate the airtightness of the plot and visual motifs."
From Tokyopop: Yuuki is an energetic teenager who carries the disturbing power of foresight in her dreams. She finds that this is tied to the mysterious Deep Sleep that has overtaken her sister, Yuuka.

The mysterious girl hands Yuuki a kaleidoscope--which Yuuki discovers she still has when she awakens from the dream the next morning
From Ambrosia Scans:
With the completion of the human genome in 2014, Japan has gone all Gattaca (good movie, i.e. genetic engineering) and, in 2031, a boy gifted (or scientifically crafted) with a special touch repetitiously sees a strange dream before him.

From MangaHelpers:
Nearly half the population of Sakurada, a small town near the Pacific Ocean, has some sort of unique power. These powers range from being able to enter the mind of a cat, to resetting the world back to a certain point in time in the past. There is a group known as the "Kanrikyoku" that controls and monitors the use of these powers. Asai Kei and Haruki Misora work for their school's club called "Houshi" club, which execute any missions received from the Kanrikyoku. Misora has the ability to reset the world 3 days. This means that all events and any memory of the past 3 days that "could have" happened, never happened. Kei has the ability to "remember" the past. Even after Misora uses her powers to reset the world back 3 days, Kei will retain those 3 days in his memory. Combining their powers, these two solve missions issued by the Kanrikyoku. [DrCoke]
