Summer -- a time when the vegetation grows like mad, when sunlight plays across the bumpy gravel road, when storm clouds tower like castles in the mysterious blue of the sky.
Summer -- a time when colors are more vibrant, when temperatures are hotter, and when memories burn brighter.
Summer -- the most special time of a child's life, and the bane of many adults'.
Summer -- that most fleeting, transient time of the year has finally arrived.
Childhood friends Hinori and Aoi haven't seen each other since the New Year holiday. The family get-together is as boring as ever, though, so the pair opts to sneak away, as young people are wont to do... But their escape from the tedium brings them somewhere neither one expected -- the village of Kakuriyo.
In Kakuriyo, perversion is the law, and men are in charge of everything. And thanks to Hinori's tomboyish looks, the people of this strange place mistake her for a male. Until they can escape, Ao and Hinori have no choice but to hide her true sex... or suffer the consequences.
In Kakuriyo, hiding one's biological sex is a terrible crime, worthy of the strictest of punishments.
In Kakuriyo, the young friends' fate is all up to you...
