Synopsis:
The approaching graduation season casts a reflective atmosphere over a group of high school students navigating the final months of their academic careers. Mio grapples with unresolved sentiments, while Hazuki maintains an emotional distance from her peers within the concert band. Haruto focuses intently on his baseball aspirations, and Ena passionately strives to revive the struggling photography club before its closure. Their individual worlds begin to intersect with the arrival of Eita Izumi, a transfer student whose transient life circumstances have brought him back to his hometown for his final year.
Eita's presence unexpectedly stirs up dormant connections and forces these students to confront unresolved feelings and long-held secrets. As graduation looms, the narrative explores themes of impermanence, nostalgia, and the complexities of forming meaningful bonds amidst impending change. The series portrays a quiet, introspective experience, examining how the past can resurface and reshape the present for those on the cusp of adulthood.
