Naoya Reito is a young man who has hit rock bottom. Left without money, a place to live, or a future, he ends up behind bars and braces himself for the worst. However, fate gives him an unexpected chance: a mysterious, wealthy relative, whose existence he never even suspected, pays his bail in full and secures his release from prison. The price of this freedom is a condition that seems strange at first glance. Reito must become the new sole Guardian of the ancient, sacred Camphor Tree, which stands in the heart of a cozy little town. The locals treat this giant tree with religious reverence. Soon, Reito uncovers the tree’s greatest mystical secret: it possesses the unique ability to absorb, securely store within itself, and pass on to future generations genuine, unadulterated human emotions, memories, secrets, and mental messages. Becoming a bridge between the past and the future, Reito begins to untangle the complex knots of family dramas and hidden lives, and finds his own true path. This is a profound, insightful, and emotional story about how a person’s most precious treasure is the memory we leave behind.
