＜STORY＞
Kaede, an 11-year-old girl, suddenly collapsed in class one day and is diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. For young Kaede, anticancer drug treatment and radiation therapy are nothing short of grueling. The only emotional support she has is Yoshi, who is fighting the same disease in the bed next to her. At the same time, Kengo Yanai, who runs an IT company, loses his beloved daughter to leukemia. As a business owner, Kengo has no choice but to prioritize his work. However, the loss of his daughter brings his family, which he thought was happy, to the brink of collapse. Desperate, Kengo registers as a bone marrow donor. Having lost his family, becoming a bone marrow donor is the only thing he has left to be proud of. A man and a girl try their best to live with the loss of irreplaceable loved ones. Who is the "person they want to see the most" that they have been searching for while leading different lives?
