On his first day at Yomiyama North Middle School, Kouichi realizes his classmates are hiding something and that he is the only one who seems to notice or acknowledge Mei Misaki. Mei eventually warns him that his classmates associate him with a "death curse" and that he should stay away from her.
In 1998, 15-year-old Kouichi Sakakibara moves from Tokyo to live with his grandparents while his father works in India.
The story opens with a narration of a tragic event from 1972: a popular student in Class 3-3 named Misaki died suddenly, but her grieving classmates and teachers continued to act as if she were still alive until graduation—even including her in the class photo.
