Synopsis:

A seemingly ordinary visit to his grandfather's home takes a startling turn for elementary school student Yukita. While exploring a digital device, he and his sister are unexpectedly transported to Nagaoka, Japan on August 1st, 1945 – the day of the devastating air raid. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a community grappling with loss and resilience in the final months of World War II.

The narrative follows Yukita and his sister as they navigate this unfamiliar time, observing life amidst the looming threat of conflict. Through their experiences, the anime explores themes of history, memory, and the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity. The series is structured to mirror the timing of the annual Nagaoka Fireworks Festival, a remembrance event held at 10:30 PM – the same time the bombing occurred – offering a poignant reflection on the past.
