Renji Asou A young man who, due to parental circumstances, has moved overseas repeatedly, and has never experienced any close friendships. That was a turning point in fate for Renji, who had always been searching for a fairy tale like meeting. One winter day he met a girl all alone in an uninhabited train station. She was looking up at the sky, her left eye covered by an eyepatch Chihiro Shindou.

Despite her unique handicap, Chihiro wishes to try and create a story of her own. Renji, who only ever admired stories, wavers at the sight. Although they both were shy around strangers, Chihiro mustered her courage and said to Renji Would you be friends with me? The two of them become closer through their common pastime of novels. But they move forward in different directions entirely.
