An aimless young photographer falls for a driven hairstylist, and her passion reignites his creative ambition — until she's diagnosed with progeroid syndrome, a rare disease that ages her body at terrifying speed, leaving them with less than a year; the tone is achingly sentimental, spring-lit, and built to devastate. The story confronts whether love can endure when time and physical transformation strip away everything familiar, as Misaki pushes Haruto away to spare him while he fights to stay — a meditation on transience mirrored by the cherry blossom motif that frames their romance.
