Mitsumi Iwakura, a bright and ambitious high school girl from a small, depopulated town in Ishikawa Prefecture, moves to Tokyo to chase her dreams of attending a top university and making a difference. But the bustling city and its fast-paced life quickly overwhelm her, and her carefully laid plans are thrown off course. On her first day, she meets Sousuke Shima, a laid-back and charming classmate who helps her navigate the chaos. As Mitsumi adjusts to urban life and builds bonds with her new friends, she discovers the value of connection, resilience, and embracing imperfections.
