Iroduku: The World in Colors

In a city where magic quietly threads through everyday life, Hitomi Tsukishiro sees the world in shades of gray, cut off from the emotions that color everyone else’s lives. One night beneath bursting fireworks, her grandmother Kohaku—after a spell prepared with moonlight gathered over 60 years—sends Hitomi back to 2018, to the time when Kohaku herself was a high schooler.

The reason for the journey isn’t explained; Kohaku only promises that Hitomi will understand once she arrives. After traveling through time on a train guided by a peculiar yellow creature, Hitomi awakens in the room of Yuito Aoi, a quiet artist whose drawings suddenly spill vivid color into her once-muted vision. As she adjusts to the past, questions linger: why she was sent there, and what it means that Yuito’s art can restore what her world has lost.
