Synopsis:

Three years after a serious accident, Haruka Suzumiya re-emerges into a world she barely recognizes, navigating recovery with the support of her family and devoted boyfriend, Takayuki Narumi. Their relationship, forged in the face of adversity during her coma, faces unforeseen challenges as Haruka grapples with feelings of inadequacy and a desire for independence. Haunted by a fear of being a burden, she impulsively distances herself from Takayuki, embarking on a path toward pursuing her dream of becoming a picture book author.

The narrative follows their individual journeys—Haruka's academic pursuits and Takayuki’s struggle to find stability amidst economic hardship—as they navigate complex emotions and evolving aspirations. The series explores themes of self-reliance, the weight of dependence within relationships, and the quiet resilience required to rebuild after profound personal upheaval. It presents a nuanced portrayal of modern life, focusing on character development and emotional realism rather than grand spectacle.
