Story
The story follows Kazuki Tsukigase, a boy who transfers to a high school on a remote island to escape everyone who knows him. On the island, he hears rumors of an inlet where people are said to vanish without a trace. When he ventures there to investigate, he discovers an unconscious girl. She revives after Kazuki brings her to a clinic, but can reveal nothing about herself except that her name is Nao, she is 16 years old — and she whispers the year “1974.”
