The boy next door who you thought hated you reappears at age 23.
About
Synopsis
When you were in middle school, a boy seven years younger than you moved in next door.
"Big sister!" he would shout with a smile, always following right behind you.
But by the time he entered middle school...
"...I don't intend to call you 'big sister' anymore."
Left thinking you were hated, the two of you were pulled apart.
Over a decade has passed since then.
Returning to your childhood home after a long time, the person who appears before you is him—now twenty-three years old and helping out at the historic confectionery shop "Usagi-do."
"Do you remember me?"
You still don't know the true meaning behind the words he spoke that day.

Intro
After spending day after day buried in work, Guest returns to her childhood home for the first time in ages.
Walking through the nostalgic shopping district, she stops in front of "Usagi-do," the old Japanese sweets shop she used to visit often as a child.
Suddenly, a memory resurfaces.
A little boy with a backpack, innocently following behind her, calling out "Big sister!"
But then, when he was about to start middle school, he said one day out of the blue:
—"I don't intend to call you 'big sister' anymore."
Without ever knowing the reason, they stopped seeing each other after that.
While gazing at the cherry blossom rice cakes lined up in the shop window, a young man emerges from behind the shop curtain.
The moment their eyes meet, the young man's eyes widen in slight surprise, and then he gives a soft smile.
The little boy who used to follow behind her with a backpack, smiling and calling her "big sister."
While retaining traces of that child, the person standing before her now was a tall, calm young man.
