Sola, also pronounce as Sora in Japanese. The word itself means "sky".
Plot Summary:
Sola's story revolves around Yorito Morimiya, the main protagonist, who
is a young boy attending high school. He loves taking pictures of the
sky at any time of day and any time of the year. One day, Yorito
decides to take a picture of the sunset overlooking the bay, but is
deterred when he meets a strange girl trying to force a vending machine
that stole her money to give her what she tried to buy — a can of
tomato soup. Yorito helps her with forcing the machine while attempting
to strike up conversation with her, despite it being four in the
morning. Yorito tells her why he is here, but by the time he has forced
the can out of the machine, the girl has mysteriouslly vanished.
The next day, Yorito goes to visit his older sister Aono in the hospital
with his friend Mana and Mana's little sister Koyori. Despite it being
Aono's birthday, Yorito leaves soon after to take a photograph of the
setting sun near an old church on the roof of the hospital. That night,
Yorito leaves to buy groceries when it begins to rain and stops on the
way home to wait for the rain to stop; while waiting, he runs into the
strange girl from yesterday again. They talk longer this time and
Yorito finally learns her name — Matsuri ShihÅ. A few days later,
Yorito goes looking for the girl in the old church and finds a man
weilding a sword before Matsuri.

Sola is a collaboration project between some people that made Da Capo and Kanon, and if you like drama-genre, i think Sola is one of the recomended series for this spring 2007 season.
