A key theme in this coming-of-age transition is the contrast between the noise of the environment and the internal silence of the character. As the boy takes his first steps into adulthood, the world around him likely remains vibrant and noisy—a cruel irony. Friends might still be laughing at the beach; fireworks might still be painting the sky. But he is no longer looking at the fireworks with wonder; he is looking at the expenses, the future, or the face of someone he must say goodbye to.
: As the title suggests, the story follows Ryuuki’s transition from adolescence to adulthood through his deepening and unconventional relationship with Reiko.
