Synopsis
Depressed Tokyo teen Koutarou moves to Toyama, finding hope and love through Nagisa in a sweet restart story.
"The stars that don't shine in Tokyo surely do shine in a different town..." Tsutsumi Koutarou, who couldn't be a senior at a college-oriented high school in Tokyo, moves into Himi City, Toyama Prefecture with his distant relatives and spends one school year there. "I wouldn't be able to shine for the rest of my life..." He's hurt, and depressed. However, his encounter with a girl named Nagisa changes his "tomorrow" little by little. Now, Hara Hidenori begins "the sweetest 'starting-over' love story in the world"... (Source: MU)
