Description
Across Japan's modern history from the Meiji period to the Reiwa period, five pairs of women find their hearts entwined in ways shaped by their respective eras. This anthology, weaving 150 years of changing times and unchanging emotions, presents five standalone yuri short stories, each set in a different Japanese imperial era.

The first story, set in the Meiji era, follows Itohime and Aisukurin, two women whose connection unfolds against the backdrop of rapid modernization and traditional values. In the Taisho era, a story titled One-piece to Shunrai captures a fleeting romance during a season of spring thunder, exploring the tension between new freedoms and lingering customs. The Showa era story, Fumiko no Midori, centers on two women named Fumiko and Midori, whose relationship reflects the shifting social mores of mid‑20th‑century Japan. The Heisei era contribution, Chou Tsuiteru, offers a lighter, more contemporary slice‑of‑life romance, touching on the optimism and pop‑culture vibrancy of the late 20th century. The anthology concludes in the Reiwa era with Arishi Hi no Anata e, a letter‑like narrative that looks back at love and memory in the present day.

Each story is crafted by a different creator, with contributions from sheepD, Utatane Yuu, Yakushiji Utsutsu, Kuwabara Tamotsu, and Shinoa. The cover is illustrated by Narue. While the characters and settings change with each era, the anthology’s central thread is the persistent, heartfelt human experience of love between women, enduring through the rapid transformations of Japanese society.
