Synopsis
High school girl Umi reunites with admired older neighbor Shouya while staying with his family, discovering he's changed from her memories.
High school girl Umi Sayama is placed in the care of the neighboring Hiroi family while her mother is away on a long business trip. The Hiroi household is home to Shouya, an eight-years-older figure she admires, and Umi's heart races at their long-awaited reunion. But the Shouya she encounters is completely different from the one in her memories... A faintly sparkling cohabitation story about meeting changed memories once more.
