Synopsis:

Years after a formative encounter under the stars, Mira Kinohata carries a childhood promise: to discover and name an asteroid in honor of Ao Manaka, a fellow stargazer who ignited her passion for astronomy. Now a high school student at Hoshizaki Academy, Mira seeks to continue her exploration through the school’s newly formed Earth Sciences Club – a merger of the Astronomy and Geology Clubs. There, she unexpectedly reconnects with Ao, rekindling their shared dream.

The series follows Mira and Ao as they navigate academic pursuits and personal challenges in pursuit of their ambitious goal. The narrative blends elements of scientific curiosity with character-driven interactions, exploring themes of friendship, perseverance, and the enduring power of youthful aspirations against a backdrop of everyday high school life and the vastness of space.
