Golden Days

Soma Mitsuya is a first-year high school student who chafes under the constant watch of his overprotective mother. Driven by a quiet sense of rebellion, he withdraws from his everyday life, dedicating himself entirely to two things: mastering the violin and spending time at the hospital bedside of his ailing grandfather. These twin passions serve as his only true refuge from a stifling home environment, anchoring him in a world that feels increasingly distant from his peers. His fragile routine shatters on a single, catastrophic night. Just as his grandfather’s health takes a sudden and alarming turn for the worse, a violent earthquake strikes without warning. The sheer force of the tremor tears Mitsuya away from everything he knows, violently displacing him through time. Instead of waking up in the wreckage of his own era, Mitsuya finds himself stranded in the year 1921, deep within Japan’s Taisho period. Severed from his family, his music, and the hospitalized grandfather he desperately wanted to protect, he must now navigate an unfamiliar historical landscape. Surrounded by the customs and challenges of a century past, the young violinist faces an extraordinary struggle to survive and find his way back to the life he left behind.
