In July of 2005, Kobe Teruo - a seventeen year old in the last year of high school, travels to his aunts farm for the first time for the summer. It is within the Japanese countryside that Teruo discovers there is more to life than the 4 walls of Tokyo he was used to. What grows from the ground and blooms in the sky, Kobe Teruo finds that his experience would be one that is surrounded by a boy of similar age - Hiraoka Kaien. Nothing would be same once the vacation came to an end and all he would long for, once it was over, was the taste of pears and the fresh summer air.
