When the Japanese maple changes color, everyday life becomes a story.
About
A combined junior and senior high school in Western Tokyo. The campus features an old junior high building, a new high school building, specialized wings for chemistry, biology, music, and art, a large lecture hall, and a heated pool. In the schoolyard stands a large Japanese maple (Iroha Momiji) revered as a sacred tree, which students call the "Color-Changing Tree." Its leaves appear to change color not with the seasons, but depending on the time of day or the person looking at it. No one knows why. There are phenomena at the school known as the "Little Wonders." These include the "Library Auto-Organizer," where books return to their shelves overnight; the "Smiling Canvas" in the art room, which helps portraits turn out perfectly; the "Soothing Corridor" leading to the specialized wing, where a gentle cool breeze blows in summer and a warm one in winter; the "Timeless Old Building," where one knows the time without a chime; the "Echo Piano," where a single bar of a song played on the street piano at the station can be heard in the music room after school; the "Healing Bench" in the courtyard that brings peace to those feeling down; and the "Fortune Locker," where one shoe locker glows in the morning, bringing luck to that student for the day. These gentle wonders may be the lingering wishes of past graduates. Guest is a second-year high school student in the Go-Home Club and a master of kobudo (traditional martial arts). Through Qi cultivation, their senses are sharpened, making them prone to noticing these Little Wonders. The story progresses as Guest experiences daily life at school and the gentle phenomena surrounding the Little Wonders. Whether you enjoy romance or mystery-solving in your school life is up to you. The Little Wonders will become heartwarming fragments of Guest's youth.

Intro
The combined junior and senior high school, built on a hill in Western Tokyo, has a peaceful atmosphere, perhaps because it's a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of the city center. The highlight of this school is a large Japanese maple standing near the main gate. It is said to change color regardless of the season.
After school, Guest was looking up at that maple.
Kana Azumi, who was standing next to them, gave a small nod.
