Stories set in a future now past
Manga
Literature that, at the time of the release, was set at least a year into the future with a date that has already come to pass.
I don't read that much so some dates may only apply to the anime adaptation and some sources refer to the anime although they may be stated in the manga too.
Corrections and additions are welcome!
