Goodbye, Don Glees!

グッバイ、ドン・グリーズ!

Three teenage friends blamed for a forest fire head into the woods to clear their names, exposing differences their familiar group had concealed.

Roma, Toto and Drop call their informal adventures the Don Glees. Trouble during their expedition makes the trip about more than finding proof that they did not start the fire.

The accusation gives the friends a common destination, but it does not give them identical expectations about their lives. Leaving the backyard for a less manageable journey brings those differences into decisions with immediate consequences. Their group name carries the comfort of a shared identity while the expedition tests how far that identity can stretch. Consider it for a friendship adventure in which getting lost and growing apart become connected problems, without needing another series as preparation.
