「また、必ず会おう」と誰もが言った。

偶然出会った、たくさんの必然

A boy's journey home, beginning with a small lie

Synopsis

No spoilers

Kazuya Akizuki, a seventeen-year-old living in Kumamoto, tells a lie to make himself look good, and as a result ends up going alone to Tokyo Disneyland. On the way home he misses the last flight, and all he has left is 3,400 yen. As Kazuya stands lost at the airport, a woman at a souvenir shop speaks to him. On his unplanned way home, he meets ordinary adults, comes into contact with their lives and words, and gradually changes how he sees the people close to him and everyday life. A coming-of-age travel story that leaves a question for the reader as well.
