Her parents forget, her attempts to get closer to her crush are thwarted, and school events are canceled due to a new disease. Convinced she’ll never have the vibrant youth she desires, her childhood friend, Kizuki, unexpectedly asks her out, setting the stage for a compelling school youth romance among four childhood friends. The series explores themes of crushes, nostalgia, and friendship amidst unusual circumstances.
