A delicate, introspective coming-of-age romance centered on an unlikely connection between a quiet high school girl and her older manager, exploring love's complexity across generational lines.

Akira Tachibana is a soft-spoken high school student who used to be a part of the track and field club. Working part-time at a restaurant, she finds herself inexplicably falling in love with her manager, a divorced 45-year-old man.
