[Machine Translation] Today I will stay in this house to comfort you. -The secret is hidden in the old samurai house behind the tree on the dark slope. And in the house across the street, the adults play closed games with each other. The days of that boy and everything surrounding a girl are mysterious and enigmatic. Manabu Nakagawa, who has been vigorously adapting Kyoka Izumi's fantasy tales into picture books, has taken on the challenge of creating a bewitching and sad tale of longing for a girl that retraces the memories of Kyoka's adolescent years through his bold imagination.
