Ohoshi-sama no Rail

Chitose, known to her family as Chiko, grows up in Japanese-occupied Korea. The comfort of home initially shields her from the war, but her father's absence, illness and bereavement gradually bring its consequences into her everyday life.

Peace does not restore the world she knew. Her family must leave and undertake a difficult journey toward Japan, facing uncertainty and exhaustion along the way. Looking up at the night sky, Chiko wishes the stars could become a railway carrying them somewhere safe. Holding onto that hope becomes part of surviving a childhood changed by events she cannot control.
