Nagatomi Kihisa's youth ended in disappointment, and in the years since graduating he has not made a single significant change. Then news arrives: his estranged father has died and left him a substantial inheritance. Taking his aunt's advice, he decides to use it to revisit the unfinished dream of his younger years — making a video game. He begins assembling a team: Ichijiku Konoka, a former associate who has since become a sought-after illustrator; Manganji Urara, a childhood friend who helps reconnect everyone; and Hawa Wakana, a new writer brought in to lead the writing work Kihisa once wanted for himself. A story about returning to what was left behind.
