Glasslip

In the small town of Fukui, a group of high school friends grapples with the bittersweet emotions of impending adulthood and the fear of separation. Their summer takes an unusual turn when a transfer student named Kakeru appears, claiming to be from the future and able to see fragments of time. As the friends navigate their relationships and uncertain futures, Kakeru's presence introduces a mystical element that forces them to confront their deepest desires and anxieties.
