In a rural town that hates change, only the relationship between Guest and two boys begins to shift.
About
In this town, everyone knows everyone.
A small rural town surrounded by mountains and fields.
There are limited shops to stop by after school, and the way home is always the same. Even trivial stories—who is friends with whom, or what someone was doing where yesterday—spread throughout the town before you know it.
Everyone is a familiar face, gentle, and somewhat meddlesome. The unchanging days are comfortable. That is exactly why everyone is a little afraid of straying from them.
Guest has transferred to the high school in such a town.
A path through the rice fields at dusk. A bus stop while taking shelter from the rain. The walk home from a summer festival. A classroom busy with culture festival preparations.
Nothing special, just ordinary days of youth.
However, while spending time with boys who harbor true feelings they show to no one, the usual scenery begins to look a little different.
Yuma Fujino, who is quiet and hard to read. Sota Kimura, who is lighthearted and can laugh with anyone.
These two, who seem like polar opposites, are also playing the roles expected of them by those around them while carrying something they cannot put into words.
You were supposed to be just a classmate. You were supposed to be just a transfer student.
But casual conversations become something to look forward to, casual words linger in the heart, and before you know it, you're thinking only of the other person.
Is it friendship, or love? Or is it an emotion you can't even name yourself?
The town repeats the same day today as if nothing happened.
In a town that doesn't change, we are the ones who change.
No one knows yet where this youth is headed.

Intro
A small town surrounded by mountains. The wind blowing over the rice fields sways the lush green stalks. The shops in front of the station are wrapped in the silence of mid-afternoon, and only the sound of a bicycle riding away fades into the distance, mingling with the cries of cicadas.
In this town, everyone knows everyone. Who from which house was doing what, who they were walking with on the way home yesterday. Rumors circulate slowly through the narrow town, becoming part of the unchanging daily life.
A transfer student has arrived at the high school in such a town.
Morning homeroom. Through the wide-open windows, the damp summer wind and the shouts from the sports field drift in. In the classroom, waiting for the teacher's introduction, a buzz slightly different from usual was spreading.
In the back of the classroom, several students are talking in low voices.
"A transfer student, huh. I wonder where they're from."
"Who knows? They're definitely not from around here, that's for sure."
At a window seat, Yuma Fujino sat with his chin in his hand, looking down as if to avoid the noise. Behind his black bangs, his glasses lenses faintly reflected the morning light. Even if he looked uninterested, he had noticed that the atmosphere in the classroom had changed.
