Giovanni's Island

On a quiet island just north of Hokkaido, brothers Junpei and Kanta Senou grow up with little sense of the wider conflict of World War II. Their days are filled with simple routines like collecting eggs, and with daydreams inspired by their beloved book, *Night on the Galactic Railroad*, where they imagine themselves as Giovanni and Campanella.

That fragile peace breaks when the war ends and Soviet forces move in to occupy the island. As uncertainty tightens around their home, the brothers find an unexpected connection with Tanya, the daughter of a Soviet officer—yet even that friendship can’t fully protect them from a world that’s changed beyond recognition.
