Nazomi, a shy Japanese girl, had a very close relationship with her older sister, Kari, who she would meet every Friday at the train station. Tragedy struck when Kari got into an accident and fell onto the train tracks, hitting her head and falling into a coma. While visiting her sister at the hospital, Nazomi met a boy who was also in a coma, and she started reading to him. She discovered that he was the one who saved her sister's life and felt a deep connection to him. As she got to know him through his drawings, Nazomi developed feelings for him, only to discover that he had fallen in love with her sister before the accident.
