"The past is like a ghost that has forgotten its own non-existence, searching day in and out to find the body it once inhabited."
After four years away, Ichinose Yukio returns to the elegant and emotion-inducing coastal hills of Kamakura to start over. He wants a quiet life at Shishin Academy-a prestigious "jack-of-all-trades" school where talent is the only currency. But the moment he steps through the gates, the peace he craves is shattered by the people he tries to leave behind.
Kanzaki Hinata, a childhood friend he considers a little sister. Hinase Yume, a rival that understands him better than he does himself. Takeuchi Haruto, a best friend who reads the book before looking at the cover. Ishii Shinji, a window to a life that once was. All these people in his life enrich it, bringing colour to a once colourless void; and yet, he prefers to slink right back into the void filling his heart. But why?
As spring break ends and the breezes carry the scent of cherry blossoms and the sea, Yukio learns what it means to live for the sake of living rather than for the sake of surviving.
"In the heat of midsummer, some sparks fade... but fireflies always find their way home."
