LatestThe time of parting has finally arrived. After the festival, Hitomi, Kohaku, and all of the club members gather in a nearby park. One by one, they share the feelings they've held close to their hearts with Hitomi as she prepares for her journey. Then, as she's expressing her gratitude, an anomaly occurs in the star-sand watch. Yuito tries to rescue Hitomi, and the two of them suddenly vanish.
Set in the city of Nagasaki, the story takes place in a world where a miniscule amount of magic remains in everyday life. Hitomi Tsukishiro is a 17-year-old descendant of a witch family who grew up with stale emotions, as she lost her sense of color at a very young age. Feeling sorry for her granddaughter's future, Kohaku, a great witch, sends Hitomi to past, the year 2018. Through exchanges with her 17-year-old grandmother and her club members, the story follows Hitomi's growth as a person.
