Kano Yuri is tired of her stifling, directionless life. After a bitter fight with her mother, she runs away–searching for solace, or maybe just a way out. When she takes shelter in an abandoned air-raid bunker overnight, she never expects to wake up…in wartime Japan.
Stranded in a past she doesn’t understand, Yuri meets a young Kamikaze pilot preparing for his final mission. He’s kind, courageous, and heartbreakingly doomed. As their connection grows, Yuri finds herself torn between the world she came from–and the boy who makes her want to stay.
