journey to find Tower Number One. His friend Akira
Masueda becomes his companion in the adventure in search
of the tower. Together they traverse fields and rivers.
When they find Tower Number 23, Akira decides to go back

his mission. On reaching Tower Number 4, however, he is
caught by a guard.One year later, Miharu is living in
Nagasaki, but feels frustrated at not having attained his
objective. When he goes to Tokyo to his father’s
funeral, he decides to see his adventure through to the
end. In the course of his journey, former memories well
up in his mind.
