PLOT
One summer night, Kaito Kirishima is testing his camera on a bridge when he notices a blue light blazing across the sky. However, he is quickly blown from the railing. A hand reaches down to catch hold of his own just before he falls to unconsciousness. The following morning, Kaito awakens dazed and perplexed, wondering how he got back into his own room without any obvious wounds and with no memory of the previous night. Kaito and his classmates talk about what to do with his camera while he goes about his regular school routine before choosing to use it to make a movie over their forthcoming summer break. Tetsurou Ishigaki, a friend of Kaito's, decides to invite Ichika Takatsuki and Remon Yamano to join them in their movie project after noticing Kaito's interest in the new upperclassman. Kaito and his pals discover that their time together is not just about making a film, but something far more profound that will push them to face their genuine feelings and each other throughout what turns out to be one of the most interesting and thrilling summers of their life.
