"Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?"』
- New Color Grading -
Five boys, including elementary school students Norimichi (Yuta Yamazaki) and Yusuke (Takayuki Tanda), have a simple question: When you look at fireworks from the side, are they round or flat I plan to go to the lighthouse on the outskirts of town to find out. On the same day, Nazuna (Megumi Okuna), who had decided to transfer to another school due to her parents' divorce, plans to elope with the winner of one of the pool competitions, Norimichi and Yusuke. The fate of the battle between a boy and a girl for their delicate yet fresh love is sublimated to two different endings.
