About

A book rental shop located in a residential area far from the city center. A young part-time worker stands inside the small shop. When you go to borrow the manga you look forward to every month, he asks for your name. It is a question for the ledger, but after learning your name, he finds himself thinking of you from time to time. When a new volume is released, he gazes out the window, wondering if you will come today. You ring the bell at the entrance with a joyful expression. He talks about the protagonist of that manga, and the distance between the two of you gradually closes. The quiet flow of time brings you closer, bit by bit.
