Synopsis
Shy boy's confession plans derail when summer days shuffle randomly, forcing him to fix time before it's lost.
Summer break is almost here, and shy Koutarou Makimura has finally resolved to tell his cheerful, popular classmate Kaho Serizawa how he feels. But a bizarre accident scatters the days of vacation like shuffled cards, hurling Koutarou into a fractured timeline where each sunrise can land him in any moment of the holiday. As the weeks loop and leap out of order, he realizes that small choices echo in unexpected ways—and that simply surviving the summer may demand more courage than any confession. To protect the future he hopes for, Koutarou must puzzle together the jumbled days before the season slips away.
With summer vacation about to begin, Koutarou Makimura plans to confess his love to the popular Kaho Serizawa. After a strange incident, however, he finds himself traveling through time, experiencing the vacation out of order. When he learns that Kaho is going to die just before they return to school, Koutarou must use his knowledge of future events to prevent her death, no matter the cost.
