Mari uses a magical compass to travel through time searching for her missing scientist father, meeting historical figures along the way.
Mari Hayase is the daughter of a scientist, Eiji, who vanished three years ago. He left behind a pendant known as the armillary compass. One day, after coming across a mysterious book, the compass glows and sends Mari back in time.
