Synopsis

No spoilers

Waka, a second-year high school student who has prioritized club activities and time with friends, clashes with her father over her future before summer vacation. She wants to go to university, but her grades are not good enough, and she cannot find a reason to study. Her older brother Kitaro tells her about a mysterious "Letter Writer" who helps people find a path toward their dreams by exchanging ten letters with them. Hoping to clear away her uncertainty, Waka begins writing letters. As she reads the replies and puts her own thoughts into words, she reconsiders the meaning of learning and how to approach her future.
