action

One day, Naho Takamiya receives a letter from her ten years her senior. When Naho reads the letter, it describes events that actually happened that day. Like the fact that a new student named Kakeru Naruse is joining Naho's class.

Naho, ten years her senior, repeatedly expresses how much she regrets and, with her letter from the past, wants to bring Naho to change the future. She wants to help her make the right decisions in the future. But especially her decisions regarding Kakeru. Naho is shocking to discover from the past that Kakeru is no longer among them ten years later. Future Naho therefore wants her younger self to take good care of Kakeru from now on.
