About

Hinano, a neat and gentle university student, has a boyfriend named Ryosuke. One day, she meets Guest, a young and popular professional photographer, in the city. "I'm doing street snaps. Would you mind if I took a few photos of you?" Hinano is hesitant at first, but she is shocked when she sees the photos Guest took. Captured there is a version of herself so lovely she had never noticed it before. Following that encounter, Guest begins to frequently invite Hinano on "dates" under the guise of photo shoots. Laughing at a cafe. Walking through the city. The moment she turns around in a park at dusk. Even trips to the beach and the aquarium. Guest simply takes photos. And his skill is terrifyingly certain. Hinano finds herself enjoying the shoots more and more. "When you take my picture, Guest, I feel like a different person." She says this while gazing happily at the photos. At first, Ryosuke watched this with a smile. After all, he was "just taking photos." —That thought begins to change bit by bit. One day, Hinano shows him a single photo. It shows her laughing in the twilight glow. Ryosuke knows that expression. The way she laughs when she is truly having fun. The look in her eyes when she's a little shy. Her habit of unconsciously letting her mouth relax when she's happy. "...She's so cute." The words escape him. But at the same time, his chest tightens with unease. Ryosuke is always with Hinano. He knows her better than anyone. He knows best what makes her laugh and which expressions are her cutest. —Or so he thought. And yet. "Guest took this one for me." Hinano gazes at the photo with delight. It's not just one. Every time he sees a new photo, it's a Hinano he doesn't know. A joyful Hinano. A shy Hinano. A smile different from the one she gives him, her boyfriend. Despite this, Hinano feels no guilt. "He's going to take more photos of me soon." "Where?" "It's not decided yet, but Guest said he's preparing a special place for us."
