Synopsis:

First-year high school student Shoma Mihara receives a message from his best friend Atsushi Fujii.

They have been out of touch for three and half years. Atsushi says, "There will be a unique festival,

would you like to come? I want to meet and talk with you after a long time." Being in agony, Shoma

goes to the festival called "Tanabata Nanaya Matsuri" to be held at a deserted village in the middle

of a mountain. However, he cannot find Atsushi. Instead, he encounters a girl named Shiori Senozawa,

who is also looking for someone whom she wants to meet. The festival's facilitator Kanna says, "I think

you will be able to meet Atsushi-sama by the end of the festival." Along with Shiori, Shoma starts

preparations for the festival, but is also involved in mysterious incidents occurred in the village. Will

Shoma meet his best friend again?
