Both titles feature multiple mains, angst-ridden youths with personal struggles that they need to work through as they come of age. Excellent young cast and slow-burn, somewhat poetic direction.

Well-meaning but socially awkward, Kuronuma Sawako is nicknamed "Sadako" by her high school classmates because of her similar hair style with the main character from the horror movie "Ring." She doesn't have friends and goes about her day in quiet. She admires a fellow classmate, Kazehaya Shota, because of his easy-going and friendly nature, but unknown to her, Kazehaya has also been paying attention to her.

In order to stop his classmates from bullying him, the protagonist, Kamiya Tooru, makes a false confession to a girl in his class, Hino Maori. Even though she knows that the confession is a lie, Maori says yes with the three rules: "Don't talk to me until after school," "Keep communication brief," and "Don't fall in love with each other". The two promise not to fall in love, but as they get to know each other, they find themselves drawn to each other. When Tooru finally couldn't hold back his feelings, Maori's words were unexpected. "I have an anterograde amnesia, and I forget things when I sleep at night. Everything that's happened in a day". Her memories and experiences were reset every day, and she wrote down the day's events in a diary and woke up early in the morning to review them in order to keep her memory alive. Tooru is devoted to bringing her as much happiness as possible. However, such daily life did not last long. What is the "plan" that Tooru has devised to protect Maori's happiness? The raging climax and the fragile tenderness will wrap the world in warm tears once again.
