Honestly, that could even be now. Nothing seems particularly out-of-place; it's just that the soft colours make it seem like an old photograph.

I'd say it was intended to be in the past. Tram is old style, postmen don't dress like that anymore, art-deco architecture and ladies in kimonos. There's not one modern thing in the scene and several that indicate several decades ago.
We also know its linked to another picture in which one of the girls is holding a girls magazine that ceased publication in the early 1940s.

I agree, now that Roar has found a second picture its really fascinating. The artist has a story in mind. I want to find the artists name.

looking at the two pictures, I notice cherry blossoms in the background trees in pic #2. While looking at Pic #1, I never noticed it before, but it looks like the seated girl has a bandage around her neck. And the cherry trees seem to have aged a bit, not the first bloom, so maybe not much time has passed between the two. It would seem that maybe a common occurrence injured the two and killed the third. Just occurred to me that it might be war related??? Don't think so, but a possibility...
I just don't know where to look for the story...
I think that it is remarkable that we all knew what Roar was referring to when he mentioned the photograph. That first picture made an impression on us all, apparently.
OK, Saddles posted the first picture and Roar the second picture... Get it together, guys... We're counting on you.

Yes the bandages were something Roar was talking about before.

That could be a schoolboy and not a postman but the presence of a cap puts the picture well back in time for sure. I didn't see the figure in the middle of the girls and yes it could be a soldier.
Short-haired girl on the right is the one who died.

Its not quite right due to the rear side window but it reminds me of a Citroen Dyane:
Note the style of wheels.
The Dyane though was built in the late 1960s so I think that's just artistic error or something.

Wow, so glad you guys remembered. Truth be told, I found the picture by accident while searching for a light novel. It was used as a website's banner, so unfortunately there's no title.
And yes, I'm dying to know of the artist's name. This looks too pro to be fanmade.

Ah, I didn't know about the connection with an earlier picture... And actually, the guy in the hat struck me as probably being a student too.

Are there contact details for the webmaster on that site? If so please ask where they got it.

He's definitely a school-boy, I thought it was obvious from his expression that he's looking at one of the girls because he likes them? Or at least, the timid/bashful expression he has made me immediately think that was the case anyway.

The car I would say is fiction or just not terribly skilfully drawn. No car would have its rear axle that close to the back end, certainly not one from the middle of the last century before the era of hatchbacks, almost every car had a trunk/boot space of some kind.
I still think the styling and the wheel is closest to the Dyane as I linked.
