    • Synopsis
    • Why did the whale that adapted to life on land return to the sea, choosing to take on an ordeal by heading to a new world? Machi is a high school student who continues to think about her older brother who disappeared 6 years ago. She is best friends with her classmates Asahiko and Hotaru, and they plan a short trip to Tokyo during their final high school summer vacation. They find out that Machi's brother is in Tokyo, and board a train with a scant clue and anticipation in their hearts.
