Synopsis

Saimon and Takashi are best friends and both are in the 3rd year at an industrial high school. Saimon will enter university but Takashi is slated to take over his father’s motor repair shop. Takashi is always falling in love with girls at school, but he inevitably ends up with a broken heart, so he turns to Saimon for advice. Dull Takashi never suspects that Saimon actually loves him. During their last summer holiday at high school, Takashi decides to take a journey looking for love and Saimon ends up joining him. As Takashi plays his guitar for the woman of his destiny, Saimon is conflicted about his feelings, his love for Takashi. In the end, the two high school boys arrive at a startling conclusion which spurs them to want to move on and begin their new lives.
