En raison de sa santé, cette jeune fille est non scolarisée et ne possède pas d'amis. Subissant une perte de la mémoire toute les 13 heures, elle est obligée de tenir à jour son journal intime et de le relire chaque matin pour savoir ce qu’il s'est passé les jours d’avant. Face à ce problème, Renji tentera d’apporter un peu de bonheur à Chihiro en dépit de la souffrance qu'il devra endurer pour cela. Dans une ville de l'autre côté du globe, la sœur aînée de Chihiro, Kei, passe ses journées avec son ami d'enfance Hirono pour lequel elle entretient des sentiments plus poussés que ceux de l'amitié. Ce dernier qui malgré son jeune âge est un mangaka professionnel va rencontrer une mystérieuse jeune fille du nom de Miyako. Etant aussi libre que lui, les deux étudiants passeront du temps ensemble au grand dam de Kei. « Si nous ne sommes que des pantins pour Dieu qui s’amuse de notre situation, pourrons‑nous réaliser nos rêves ? »
