Story
Miyamoto Haru is a mechanic who works at Mizushima Auto, a automobile repair shop. For Haru who has loved assembling radio control cars since young, this is his calling. Thrilled by the thought that he can give old cars another new start if he is able to repair them well, he has chosen to work at the repair shop. Yoshiki Katsura, a colleague, has a certain respect and adoration for the exuberant, friendly Haru. He met his wife, Kanako, at a park near the library where she works. They are in their fourth year of marriage and have no children, but Haru thinks that he will be happy as long as Kanako is by his side. Everything is smooth sailing. Then one day, Kanako suddenly collapses from a subarachnoid haemorrhage. Although the surgery is a success, she has completely forgotten the times she spent with Haru. It is a big shock to Haru as he gradually realises that all her memories of the two of them and even his own existence, is far from her mind. Kanako’s younger brother, Tanimura Yuki, who has always disliked Haru, takes advantage of the situation to bring his sister back to the family home. Kanako’s mother, Mariko, is on good terms with Haru, but she puts Kanako’s feelings first and indulges her. With Kanako’s memory loss, the relationships of the people around the Miyamotos start to alter bit by bit. In the midst of this, Haru resolves to fall in love again. Haru goes to see Kanako before and after he goes to work. However, she attempts to to distance herself from him. Then one day, Mizushima Auto receives a request to scrap a car. To Haru, it is a car that holds memories of Kanako. The work to scrap it affects him profoundly, and he gradually recalls the sincere emotions back when he was dating. Meanwhile, Kanako shuts herself at home, but slowly starts to go out with her mother’s encouragement.
