A coming-of-age tale of boys who lived in the good old days. This is a story of friendship between Mari Takato, a half-German, half-Japanese boy, his best friend Shingo Innami, and their schoolmates at Jidoin, a prestigious old high school. A representative work of Toshie Kihara, this is a story of the boys' dreams, tears, and friendship!

Note: Has a extra volume, Yunta Muari, that is included in the later bunko and kanzenban releases. (Yunta Muari is the Chinese reading of Mari Takato.)
