Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Japan during the Taisho era (1918), this story follows Benio Hanamura, a spirited seventeen-year-old who actively defies societal expectations. A passionate and somewhat headstrong individual, Benio finds solace and excitement in physical pursuits alongside her close companions, Tamaki and Ranmaru. As she navigates the complexities of adolescence, Benio strives for self-determined romantic fulfillment, a path often at odds with her family's aspirations. The narrative explores themes of personal autonomy, the evolving roles of women, and the bonds of friendship as the looming shadow of war begins to impact everyday life. The series presents a glimpse into a historical period marked by both tradition and burgeoning change, focusing on interpersonal relationships amidst shifting social norms.
