Synopsis
The story is set during the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival, one of Japan’s three greatest fireworks festivals that draws hundreds of thousands of spectators to Niigata Prefecture every year.
Makoto Natsume, a middle-school student who left Tokyo lacking social skills and self-confidence, encounters Aki Hayama, a popular girl who seems to have everything — beauty and talent as class president. What connects the two is a nostalgic painting of fireworks, and behind the mystery of that painting lies their shared path. They must make a crucial decision within a limited span of time.
