On a rainy night, Saki is hurrying to a piano lesson when she runs into a tall, long-haired girl and drops her sheet music. The stranger hands the pages back along with a band-aid and walks off without saying anything. The next morning, on her first day of high school, Saki finds that same girl in the seat beside hers. Her name is Kanon, and she is severely hard of hearing, relying on being close to people so she can read their lips. She turns down any special treatment from teachers or classmates and keeps everyone at arm's length with a cold manner. Over the school year, one kind gesture lets Saki start to break through Kanon's walls, and Saki begins to feel something new growing inside her. A quiet drama and romance set in everyday school life.
