Synopsis
Imai Mio came to Tokyo from her hometown of Yamanashi Prefecture and made her debut as a manga artist three years earlier. However, she did not gain much popularity and now works as a manga assistant with no bright future in sight. One day, 14 years after her junior high school graduation, a class reunion is held out of the blue. Mio gets a request from her first love Amemiya Shoichi, who initiated this gathering, to take charge of the reception duties and excitedly returns to Yamanashi. The cool and handsome Shoichi was like a perfect prince to all the female students back then. Mio had secretly liked him for afar but this class reunion results in his active pursuit of her. Six good friends including Amemiya who is now the CEO of an IT company, Fukazawa Ryo, Honda Reiko, Nose Yumi and Iwasaki Nanae reunite. A faint memory of having taken a similar photograph in the past flits through Mio’s mind as the six of them take a group shot. Those attending the class reunion visit their old school at Shoichi’s suggestion in order to unearth the time capsule they had buried when at the time of their graduation. But they run into difficulty locating the time capsule since no one remembers exactly where it was buried. Even though Shoichi has to leave earlier due to an urgent matter, Reiko persistently carries on searching and finally finds the time capsule. Mio sees a paper with the words “Everyone, don’t forget. Nakano Miyuki.” However, for some reason, she and all present cannot recall Nakano’s face … … Then of all things, some of the six good friends get caught up in incidents and start dying one after another. Each of them are hiding something shockingly dark which triggers endless lies and an unstoppable, tingling love-hate tragedy.
