Synopsis:

At fourteen, Mayumi Doujima faces a difficult choice: abandon her lifelong ambition of space travel or fulfill a childhood promise. Her quest begins with a single, elusive star witnessed years prior. Seeking assistance, she encounters Manabu Soutouin and the Pretty Boy Detective Club at Yubiwa Academy – an unconventional group bound by a peculiar set of rules. Mayumi’s exceptional visual perception, granting her extraordinary detail recognition, proves invaluable to their search. As the investigation deepens, however, the team uncovers anomalies that hint at a hidden world operating beneath the surface of everyday life. The pursuit of a celestial body unexpectedly leads them into a complex web of intrigue and challenges, forcing them to confront realities beyond their initial expectations.
