Now she returns with a magical, offbeat story of a deep and complicated friendship between two

unmarried woman. She has grown up at the seaside alongside her cousin Tsugumi, a lifelong
invalid who is charismatic, spoiled, and occasionally cruel. When Maria's father is finally
able to bring Maria and her mother to Tokyo, it ushers Maria into a world of university
enrollment, impending adulthood, and a "normal" family. Then Tsugumi invites Maria to spend a
last summer by the sea, and a restful idyll becomes a time of dramatic growth, as Tsugumi
finds love and Maria learns the true meaning of home and family. She also has to confront both
Tsugumi's inner strength and the real possibility of losing her.
