Synopsis
Two 20-year-olds meet on Halloween wearing high school uniforms, attempting to recapture the romance and youth they missed during their teenage years.
On a Halloween night, a boy and a girl wearing high school uniforms meet, facing a similar predicament: they feel as if the magic of high school days has slipped through their fingers. Kayano Wakaba was preoccupied with studying, while Tachibana Fumito regrets devoting his teenage years solely to basketball. Having never experienced movie-like dates, they agree to indulge themselves for this one night. However, neither Wakaba nor Fumito are high school students—they are both 20-year-olds lamenting the lost time. They continue meeting, always in their uniforms, trying to live out for the youth that escaped them and realizing that a belated romance can be just as sweet.
