Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving early 20th century Japan, the narrative follows Benio Hanamura, a woman fiercely committed to progress and self-determination. Benio challenges societal expectations limiting women to domestic roles, championing personal ambition and independence. Her convictions are tested when Shinobu Ijuin, a military officer who championed her ideals, returns from service with complete amnesia, having lost all recollection of his past.

The story explores themes of identity, societal pressures, and the complexities of personal relationships amidst significant social change. Benio must navigate the constraints of tradition while attempting to rekindle a connection with Shinobu, all against the looming prospect of an arranged marriage. The series examines the impact of historical shifts on individual lives and the enduring power of memory in shaping one's sense of self.
