A Bridge to the Starry Skies

Kazuma Hoshino is on the verge of a fresh start when his family leaves the city for the countryside due to his younger brother Ayumu’s fragile health. Until their parents finish wrapping things up back home and prepare a new house, the brothers are set to live at the Yorozuyo Inn.

The move begins with a string of mishaps: a wrong bus leaves them stranded, a wild monkey makes off with Ayumu’s hat, and Kazuma gets turned around in the woods while chasing after it. He’s rescued—awkwardly—by an energetic girl named Ui when an accidental tumble ends in a kiss, drawing the immediate wrath of her friend Ibuki. Kazuma’s embarrassment follows him to the inn, where the landlady Senka’s teasing, slightly perverted humor keeps trouble close, and the situation gets even messier when he realizes two of his new classmates are the very girls he ran into earlier.

As Kazuma settles into his new school life, he finds himself surrounded by multiple girls, juggling awkward relationships while supporting Ayumu and adjusting to life under Senka’s roof. At the same time, the rural town stirs faint echoes in his memory—brief flashes of a simpler past and a friendship he can’t quite place—hinting that his connection to this place may run deeper than he expected.
