What is The Sparks of Tomorrow about?
The anime is based on a Japanese light novel titled 20 Seiki Denki Mokuroku, written by Hiro Yūki and illustrated by Kazumi Ikeda. Kyoto Animation published the book under their KA Esuma Bunko in 2018, after it won an honorable mention in the full-length novel category at the 8th Kyoto Animation Awards in 2017.
Netflix describes the story as:
The series follows a boy and a girl who dream of a life beyond the haze. But after losses upend both of their lives, any hope for a brighter tomorrow feels achingly out of reach. The boy has grown cynical since his brother’s death shattered their shared vision of an “Age of Electricity.” The girl, devoted in her faith, has learned to keep both her own dreams and her grief for her late mother carefully hidden away. Drawn together by the mysterious 20th Century Electrical Catalog and its tantalizing glimpse of all they’ve longed for, the two set out to uncover its secrets. Staring down their pasts together, the two begin to clear a path toward the future they once thought was gone — and push their smoke-choked world to the brink of a blazing revolution.
