Synopsis

Hiro Hirono divides his time between school and drawing manga, until an impulsive encounter with Miyako Miyamura disrupts his familiar routine. Their growing closeness unsettles his childhood friend Kei, while a young filmmaker begins to see Kei in a different light.

Elsewhere, Renji Aso meets Chihiro at an unused station and discovers that she cannot retain new memories beyond 13 hours. Helping her write a novel becomes a way of sharing a future she may forget. Affection, jealousy and the fear of being left behind test what these young people can promise one another.
