Synopsis:

In the rural landscapes of Tono, Iwate, a young individual named Charo embarks on a quest steeped in local folklore. The narrative unfolds within a setting that blends the everyday with the uncanny, as Charo seeks the legendary Eight-Starred Note. This pursuit is driven by a looming threat: the potential return of a monstrous entity rooted in regional myth.

The story explores themes of tradition and modernity, contrasting the quiet life of the present with the weight of ancient legends. Expect a contemplative pace that prioritizes atmosphere and character interaction over rapid action. The journey promises to be less about grand battles and more about uncovering hidden truths and grappling with the consequences of preserving or rejecting the past. It's an exploration of cultural identity and the power of belief in a world where folklore can manifest into tangible danger.
