القصة

Nishikino Haruto is down in the dumps. He's already twenty-six, but he doesn't have a lot to show for it other than a room in a small, rundown apartment complex, a cruddy job with obnoxious coworkers, and a mountain of regrets. When Haruto was younger, he was part of a band at school, The Unappreciated Egoists. He had vague dreams of making it big, and standing onstage with his fellow bandmembers: the aloof Ryo, the laidback Taiki, the womanising Kei, and the self-conscious prodigy, Akira... But Haruto's dreams didn't pan out, and the band eventually dissolved. The Unappreciated Egoists went their own ways, and that was the end of that — until Akira puts together a band of his own years later, which somehow rockets all the way to superstardom. Now, Haruto can't escape from Akira's band Obscure, its mega hit Eternal Autumn, or the complicated feelings he has for Akira. Haruto resents Akira for his success, but he finds himself drawn to his former friend regardless. When Haruto learns that Obscure will be playing locally, he begins to wonder. What will happen if he sees Akira again — and does Akira even remember who he is...?
