Every morning Umi Matsuzaki raises signal flags in the backyard of her family's boarding house, a ritual meant for a father who never came home from the war. She cooks for the boarders, keeps the place running, and watches the harbor from the hill. Down the slope, her high school is at war with itself over a crumbling clubhouse. The town wants it gone, cleared away for something new before the Olympics arrive. So the students dig in. Umi joins the newspaper club to fight for the old building, and there she meets Shun Kazama, who'd rather scrub floors and print flyers than watch his history get bulldozed. Together they take their case all the way to Tokyo, to the school's chairman, and somewhere between the train rides and the late nights, the two of them stop being just classmates. Then Shun starts asking about his past. He's an orphan, with almost nothing to go on, and Umi helps him search. What they find ties their families together in ways neither expected, and it lands right in the middle of everything they've started to feel. Can two people hold on to each other when the truth between them is this heavy?
