Description
University senior Hinata has failed every job interview he has taken. Adrift and without direction, he accepts a strange part-time job from a friend: collecting cherry blossom petals for one yen each. At the handoff, he meets the client, Shizuku, and is immediately captivated by her. Her simple words of thanks color his hopeless world and give him a new sense of purpose. He wants to work in a way that earns him those words, and he wants her to notice him. But Shizuku carries a secret she is afraid to share: she can only stay awake for seven days out of the entire year. For the rest of the year, she sleeps continuously, unreachable by phone or message, and cannot be exposed to sunlight. Their relationship becomes a long-distance love unlike any other—separated not by miles but by time itself. Hinata can only meet her for one week each summer. The narrative follows the two as they navigate the pain of this impossible arrangement, supported by Shizuku's grandmother and friends who help her make the most of her precious awake weeks. Later arcs introduce a twist involving Hinata's own failing health, and the story builds toward a conclusion that underscores the weight of living fully in the time one has.
