I’m not here beside you. And yet, I’m always with you.
■Second Half Introduction
Asahi Kashiwagi is an ordinary high school student you might see anywhere.
One day, five girls from around the globe named Aoi, Amelia, Karin, Irina and Mongfa all transfer to his class.
Despite meeting them all in the worst ways possible,
for some reason they all confessed their feelings to Asahi after class.
Asahi refused at first, but felt sympathy for them when he heard they had nowhere else to go and let them stay at his place.
However, from that day on, Asahi’s everyday life became anything but ordinary.
Every day, Asahi found himself at the mercy of the girls and their unpredictable behavior.
Inexplicable things continued to happen around him that stretched the limits of his imagination.
However, despite all the everyday chaos, Asahi opens up to the girls and starts to feel a connection.
Then, one day in the summer, Asahi begins to feel comfortable with his new, busy life.
Asahi visits the beach while on vacation with Amelia, Karin, Irina and Mongfa.
However, Amelia and the others literally disappear from view right in front of him without warning, leaving nothing but footprints on the sandy beach.
The girls’ sudden disappearance leaves Asahi at a loss.
Aoi, who was absent until that point, then appears before the confused Asahi.
Struggling with his jumbled memories, and even forgetting about the existence of Amelia and the others altogether, Asahi spends time alone with Aoi at the seaside villa.
However, gradually, Asahi starts to remember his discomfort with the current situation.
Aoi notices that Asahi is about to start voicing his discomfort, and as if to interrupt him, she takes him to a certain place.
Under the cherry blossoms in full bloom, Aoi declares her feelings for Asahi.
However, Asahi has now completely recalled the existence of Amelia and the others, and he asks Aoi where they’ve gone.
The moment after asking, a strong wind blows past, and once visibility returns Aoi is no longer there.
In her place, a lone girl stands.
Where did the 5 girls disappear to?
Who is this girl named “Ai” who has appeared in front of him?
The past connecting Asahi with the girls is revealed…
