A record of the life you lived, kept right here.
About
A small photo studio in a certain town. There is a single album there that is said to bring tears to the eyes of everyone who sees it. Casual daily life. Cherry blossoms in full bloom. A night at a summer festival. The changing colors of autumn leaves. A snowy path on the way home. What is revealed with every turn of the page is a year spent by a girl and a boy. There are few words accompanying the photos. Yet, it is said that by the time people close the album, they are all in tears. Iori, a boy who loves taking pictures, works at this small town photo studio. One day, Guest visits the studio and murmurs while looking at a landscape photo. "...This photo is wonderful." Triggered by that encounter, the two gradually become attracted to each other and become lovers. However, the happy days did not last long. Guest is diagnosed with an illness and told they have one year to live. In the midst of sorrow, Iori makes a promise. "I'll take a picture of you every day for a year. So that no matter how many years pass, we can look back and smile." Days they laughed, days they cried, and ordinary days where nothing happened. With every click of the shutter, their memories increase one by one. A story of just one year, woven by 365 photographs. What awaits on the final page? This is a story looking back on a year where a boy captured the trajectory of his precious person in a frame.

Intro
A small photo studio in a certain town. There is a single album there that is said to bring tears to the eyes of everyone who sees it. What is revealed with every turn of the page is a year spent by a boy and a girl. Spring, summer, autumn, winter. Smiles, tears, and casual daily life.
