Synopsis
Haunted by vanished classmate Sakura, Makoto reunites with her years later, defying time's boundaries.
Makoto Toba, a cynical high school student, finds himself drawn to Sakura Touwa—the quiet girl in his class who prefers video games to people. Their tentative connection is shattered when Sakura vanishes without a trace, leaving Makoto with unanswered questions and a heart full of regret. Years later, Makoto remains haunted by that day, unable to move past what happened. But when circumstances bring Sakura back into his life under impossible circumstances, both must navigate the complexities of a relationship frozen in time. Now adults living in different worlds, they'll discover that some connections transcend the boundaries of time itself. (Source: MU)
