The Sky You Left Behind
After the sudden death of their parents in a car accident, 17-year-old Ren Amakusa and his twin sister Sayuri move from Tokyo to the quiet countryside town of Hoshigahara to live with their reclusive grandfather. The town, wrapped in gentle winds and crimson maple leaves, holds warm memories from their childhood—and haunting secrets they left behind.
At Hoshigahara High School, Ren reunites with old acquaintances:
Aoi Tsukimori, the gentle girl next door with a hidden bitterness.
Kanna Yukishiro, a cold perfectionist who once had feelings for Ren.
Haruka Miyazawa, a cheerful underclassman with an odd fascination with death.
And Nao Inoue, a childhood friend Ren shared a confusing, almost romantic moment with years ago.
As the twins adjust to their new life, old emotions resurface, and new bonds form—some pure, others twisted. Sayuri, once fragile and quiet, begins to grow distant… and oddly possessive. Ren is torn between the warmth of these new relationships and the deepening connection with his sister, who is the only one who truly understands the loss and loneliness they share.
But in Hoshigahara, the past never truly stays buried. As memories return and choices are made, Ren must decide:
Will he move forward into the light—or fall into the shadows of forbidden love?
