An antique store in Nishiogikubo called “Kujyuku Shoten”. There lives a man, Fumi, who can no longer trust anyone because he was once betrayed by someone, and a mysterious boy, Mashiro. Mashiro is in fact a mourning god for the “water drop” stationery, and with his “ability to see the ‘memories’ of antiques,” the two solve the problems of people who come to the store. Today, too, the store receives items that have “something to say” about them. Welcome to the slightly mysterious and heartwarming world of antiques. (Source: Young Ace Up, translated)
