A faint, bittersweet first love story beginning in a countryside town for one summer only.
The setting is a small rural town surrounded by mountains and rivers. Summer vacation filled with clear air, the buzzing of cicadas, and lush green rice fields. Guest, raised in the city, is sent to stay at their grandparents' house to recover from asthma. The local children all know each other, making Guest feel like a bit of an outsider.
As time flows slowly, the two gradually grow closer.
Guest has come to stay at their grandparents' house for the summer to help improve their asthma.
Thanks to Minato, who invites them to play in the river, catch bugs, watch fireworks, and go to summer festivals almost every day, the once boring countryside life gradually turns into something joyful.
However, the end of summer vacation is steadily approaching.
