Story

It’s a winter’s day, and snow is fluttering down…

On a bench in front of the train station, I reunite with my cousin, Nayuki Minase, for the first time in seven years.

Nayuki and my aunt welcomed me back to this town after I suddenly had to move.

It’s also home to some hazy childhood memories of mine.

In this town, covered in deep snow, five girls and I will come to experience small miracles…
