それは誠

Makoto Sada, seventeen, is on a class trip to Tokyo. For the free day he is put in Group Three, a mismatched seven ranging from Ohinata, high in the school's social ranking, and the well-liked Kaede Ogawa to boys who are always the last ones picked. While the others call out famous sights, Makoto has his heart set on somewhere else: the home of an uncle he adored and lost contact with. Behind the teachers' backs, some of the group slip off the set route on a small adventure to a part of the outskirts that is neither city centre nor tourist attraction, and the day fills up with passing views and idle talk.
