Synopsis:

Puutarou's life takes an unexpected turn when he begins noticing the unusual habits and eccentricities of those living around him. The narrative unfolds within a quiet, everyday setting, gradually revealing a hidden layer of complexity beneath the surface of ordinary suburban existence. Through a series of subtly unsettling interactions, Puutarou is drawn into the lives of his neighbors, each harboring unique and often perplexing routines. The anime explores themes of perception, connection, and the blurred lines between normalcy and the strange. It's a character-driven story that prioritizes atmosphere and observation over dramatic plot, offering a contemplative look at human relationships and the mysteries found within familiar spaces. Viewers can anticipate a slow-burn experience, rich in detail and open to interpretation.
