After waking up in the hospital, Tsubasa Ichinose learns that he and his family were in a car accident that has left them all suffering from amnesia. Despite not knowing anything about each other, Tsubasa and his family begin bonding as they explore the kind of family they must have been. However, upon returning home to a messy house filled with locked doors, it starts becoming clear that the idyllic family life they’d imagined couldn’t be further from the truth.

Tsubasa’s sister, Shiori, is mad, and Tsubasa just doesn’t understand why—all he wanted to do was help! But after a heart-to-heart with his dad, he’s able to better understand his own feelings as he heads out to confront the grown man that Shiori’s dating. But even as brother and sister strengthen their bond, another secret is set to tear the family apart again.

Despite the disappearances of both his mom and dad, Tsubasa hasn’t given up on uncovering the Ichinose family’s secrets! A photo album might hold the key to the family’s past, so Tsubasa and his remaining family set out to find the places the pictures were taken. However, just as it seems like they might finally be closing in on answers, the fake Kakeru reveals something that Tsubasa will regret ever having learned.

Tsubasa’s finally awake, having recovered from his years-long coma, and while his mom and dad are happy to have him home, Shiori is less than thrilled to see her amnesiac big brother again. But even as Tsubasa tries to adjust to living in reality again, it seems fragments of his coma dream continue to linger in his sleep—and someone in the family doesn’t want him asking why.

Tsubasa couldn’t be happier living with Sota, Kenta, and Ayano! They don’t yell, they don’t fight, they don’t argue—every day is just perfect! However, as Sota tries to patch over Kenta’s troubling behavior with smiles and endless positivity, Tsubasa begins to see that there is no escape from the interpersonal struggles that all families face—even if you insist you aren’t one.

Tsubasa has finally had enough of trying to live inside a dream. No matter how ideal a life he and his family pretend to have, they can’t erase the struggles and frustrations they have. Now only one question remains: Can Tsubasa convince them to give up this hopeless pursuit and accept the bittersweet truth of reality, or will he be drawn back into the dream?
