Tamayura

In her final year of middle school, Fū is a middle school student who had previously locked away her feelings following the death of her father. She returns home one day to find her brother, Kou, looking at the old photos their father had taken. Fū comes to understand the warmth of these photos and takes an interest in photography, asking to use her father's old camera. After taking a few photos, mainly with her friend Chihiro Miyoshi, she sends some to Riho who responds with positive feedback and a train ticket with no destination. After she decides that she'd like to go to high school in Takehara, her father's home town, the whole family decides to move there. After saying her goodbyes to Chihiro, Fū travels to Takehara where she meets with Kaoru.

It's been a month since Fū moved to Takehara, and she and her friends feel a bit bemused by the antics of her homeroom teacher, Mr. Dougou. After hearing Sayomi is going to be out of the house, Fū suggests a sleepover at her place. However, on the day of the sleepover, Dougou asks Kaoru to help out with making bamboo figures to impress the Hoboro okonomiyaki shop manager, so Fū and the others decide to help. As the girls finally resume their sleepover, Sayomi appears, telling him that Dougou had Kaoru's loneliness in mind when he asked her for help. As everyone else sleeps, Sayomi gives Fū her thanks for returning to this town.

As Norie decides to try to learn to make sweets from Fū's grandmother, she is pestered by Kou's classmate, Komachi, who challenges her to see who can make the tastiest dessert with Kou acting as judge. Though Komachi struggles at first, Fū's grandmother helps her realise the most important thing about cooking; thinking about making the person who will eat it smile. After Kou tries both Norie and Komachi's dishes, the contest is declared a tie. Afterwards, Norie reveals it was her older brother who inspired her to aim to become a patissiere.

Fū and her friends decide to have their summer vacation in Mitarai, where Maon's family runs an inn. While exploring the town, they visit a theatre which seems to hold some symbolism for Maon. After the gang visits Fū's grandfather, Maon explains that a guitar concert she once saw at that theatre inspired her to aim to try and perform on that stage at some point.
