▍Story
In 2005, it was the time when the postal service was privatized and the drama “Nobuta wo Produce” (野ブタ。をプロデュース) became a hit in Japan.
Isobe, a third-year high school student, was updating his diary in one corner of the classroom without being excited about his last Cultural Festival.
“No one in this class can understand the music and manga I like.”
In 2020, The Tokyo Olympics are postponed and people are confused by the unprecedented situations.
