Kochi, summer, 17 years old. Prologue of Boku and Rikako. Taku Morisaki, who went to college in Tokyo, saw a figure on the opposite platform of Kichijoji station. The figure, which disappeared on the Chuo Line down train, certainly looked like Rikako Muto. However, did not Rikako go to a university in Kochi? On the plane to Kochi, Taku's thoughts naturally drifted back to that summer day two years ago when he first met Rikako.
-Rikako is a beautiful girl who is good at both studies and sports. Taku's feelings are complicated when he finds out that his best friend, Matsuno, is attracted to Rikako. To Taku, Satogako was just a one-sided love of his best friend, and that should have been the end of it. That was supposed to be the end of it. Until a school trip to Hawaii in his senior year of high school...

In her third year of junior high school, while everyone around her was studying hard for entrance exams, she was always reading books at the school library or the city library. One day, Shizuku discovered the name "Seiji Amazawa" on the library's check-out card. The name was always found in the books she read.
Soon after, Shizuku met a boy. He is a boy who is determined to go to Italy to train as a violin maker after graduating from junior high school. That boy was Seiji Amazawa. Shizuku is attracted to Seiji, but she is torn by a complex and impatience with her own ambiguity about her career path, future, and her own talent.
