The convenience store isn't the setting here, it's the permission slip. Six separate people with separate lives all discover the same fluorescent-lit corner where nothing needs to happen and that's enough. This is what healing looks like when it stops performing: kids buying ice cream and magazines, standing next to each other without needing to earn it, the ordinary so deliberately ordinary it becomes sacred.
Six high school students share the habit of stopping by the same nearby convenience store after school, each for a different reason. One wants ice cream after club activities. Another picks up the newest issue of a weekly game magazine. Others shop for cooking ingredients, meet up with friends, or stock up on favorite bread and chocolate drinks. First-year best friends Haruki Mishima and Towa Honda are both chasing love. Haruki has long carried feelings for Miharu Mashiki, rekindled by a chance run-in at the store, while Towa keeps pursuing class representative Mami Mihashi, who does not return his interest. The store becomes a place to relax and collect small memories, and over time their reasons for going there slowly start to shift in this romantic slice of life.
