Description
Kohaku Tsukishiro belongs to the Tsukishiro family, a revered lineage of witches and magicians celebrated for their arcane mastery. Born in 2001, she matures within a household running a magic shop that trades in star-sand—a mystical substance enabling non-mages to cast basic spells. As a teenager at Minamigaoka High School, her penchant for experimental magic sparks chaotic mishaps, cementing her reputation as a disruptor who must repeatedly justify her antics through formal apologies.
Decades later in 2078, now elderly, she witnesses her granddaughter Hitomi’s emotional retreat and achromatopsia—a loss of color vision—triggered by familial abandonment. Determined to heal her, Kohaku activates time magic to propel Hitomi sixty years into the past to 2018, where her younger self resides. She gambles that intertwining Hitomi’s life with her past self and fresh encounters might rekindle her granddaughter’s perception of color and mend her fractured spirit.
When Hitomi arrives in 2018, teenage Kohaku cuts short her studies abroad in England to aid her. Enrolling in Minamigaoka’s Photography & Arts Club—soon rebranded the Magic Photography Arts Club—she partners with Hitomi and peers to collect star-sand and perfect the time magic needed to send Hitomi home. Their mission demands balancing spell stabilization with averting temporal anomalies that risk erasing Hitomi’s presence in the past.
Initially bound by duty, Kohaku’s bond with Hitomi deepens into reciprocal trust, marked by Hitomi’s shift from formal address to her first name. She nudges Hitomi toward forging ties with clubmates, slowly dissolving her isolation. Her guidance merges pragmatic magic lessons with emotional bolstering, from soothing Hitomi’s doubts to teaching her to wield magic as a conduit for collective joy over individual ambition.
A pivotal thread intertwines her life with Shosei Ichiyanagi, a classmate turned husband and Hitomi’s future grandfather. Their partnership crystallizes in the Stardust Clock—a magical hourglass Shosei crafts, anchoring the time-travel plot and underscoring their joint dedication to ethical magic.
Post-Hitomi’s return to 2078, elderly Kohaku verifies her granddaughter’s restored vision and emotional healing via a unearthed time capsule holding photos from their shared 2018 journey. Buried long ago, the capsule embodies her prescience and faith in Hitomi’s resilience. Within it lies a children’s book by Yuito Aoi, a clubmate whose artistry subtly weaves connections across Hitomi’s timelines.
Kohaku’s journey mirrors the dance between heritage and self-evolution, reconciling her reckless youth with the sagacity of age. Her optimism, tenacity, and devotion to magic as a bridge between hearts define her, echoing her conviction that unity and empathy are the truest spells against life’s trials.
