Here's the summary:
Hitomi Nakamura is a normal high school girl. She was reading a manga at home when suddenly something urgent popped up on the news. A major gas leak has spread from a factory and has already got to the small, peaceful town that Hitomi lived in. It's okay if you smell it, but if you smell it for a long time, you'll mysteriously break a random bone in your body. Her mom, younger sister, and herself quickly packed their belongings. They make their way out the door, but then Hitomi collapses. When she wakes up, she finds herself in a hospital in Tokyo. There was a cast on her left arm. She had broke it. Then a boy comes bursting in her hospital room and yells out a girl's name. He figures that he entered the wrong room and apologizes to Hitomi. Then they start to talk and a friendship is born.

Someone suggested to me "A Broken Bone Starts a Friendship." I had "Romeo and Cinderella" as the title, but it doesn't seem to fit anymore. Any suggestions will do! Thanks!

how about....

"When The Momentum Drops and is broken"
(sencing around her falling and her heart breaking over her sudden memories)
or
"The Dream Within an Craked Heart"
(sencing around her injuries and feelings)

Umm what is the significance of having some impossible toxic breaking bones if the story is about their friendship. Or does that toxic continue to play a roll. Otherwise I would think the breaking of the arm part should be more normal. Sorry. Maybe 'Taken by the arm' or umm hhmm it would help to know more about what happens in the story (basically the plot)

Some stories titles can be simple and obvious, such as 'Gas Leak' but it doesn't really work here.

Hi tangtangbangbang!

I've seen you one the forum so often, but this is first post/thread I've seen from you, so . . . kinda "welcome" to "the people who post!"

As for a title . . . I wouldn't worry if you can't thing of something right away that "sticks." Many authors and screenwriters use what is known as a "working title." Unless you have the entire, basic story outline in your head, you might do something like that.

Maybe Hitomi and the boy she's met will solve the mystery of what was behind the gas leak, and the whole tale involves the breaking of things and ultimately breaking up a group trying to extort money by threatening with that dangerous gas. A single word, like "Fracture" could be a cool title because it would refer to important elements in the story, and is an easy to remember, dramatic word.

Good luck with your story, and let us know what you end up with!
