“Hanauta Nagaruru” (“Overhearing a Flower Song”):
For several days, Shima has been hearing the same gentle guitar melody playing over and over as she sweeps leaves in front of the old school building.

One hot summer day, when six-year-old Hotaru gets lost in the large forest, which is supposedly populated by ghosts and monsters, a masked boy named Gin suddenly appears in front of her and offers his help. Even though he would dissolve as a spirit being at her touch, the two become friends and soon Hotaru is always longing for the next summer holidays when she can see her friend again. The years pass and Hotaru grows into a young woman, while Gin, however, hardly seems to age …

“Kurukuru Ochiba” (“The Fallling of Autumn Leaves”):
As a child, Tsubaki made the decision to become a “ninja” to protect her best friend Kaede. Even today, in tenth grade, she is always near him, putting herself between any potential danger.

Ritsu and her older brother Sou were inseparable as young children, but then their parents divorced and their father moved away with Sou. Eight years of writing letters to each other later, the unexpected happens: father and son return!
