Itoko no Ko

Nozomu spends his summer vacation at his uncle’s rural home, a remote countryside setting devoid of convenience stores or public transportation. His greatest challenge, however, is not the isolation but his younger cousin, Sou. This energetic, sun-tanned girl constantly leads him around, making it impossible for him to maintain the dignity expected of an older relative. Whether intentional or not, Sou’s inviting demeanor leaves him increasingly flustered. As Nozomu finds himself unable to look away, he falls deeper under her spell, struggling to keep his reason intact in the face of such overwhelming affection from someone who exists in the ambiguous space between family and romance.
