A boy hoping for an ordinary high-school life moves in with his aunt and discovers a cousin wrapped in a futon who insists that she is connected to aliens.
Makoto’s expectations of youth meet Erio’s account of herself and the missing period in her memory. School introduces other friendships, giving his new household a wider social setting. The premise holds a wish for the extraordinary beside the effort of living with other people.
Erio’s extraordinary account of herself still has to fit into an ordinary town and household. Going out with Makoto makes that tension practical: another person has to respond to her wishes and uncertainty, rather than encountering her only as a strange story told from a distance.
