This contemporary fiction title is set for release on December 24, 2025, and centers around the lives of three friends—Ishiki Nakamura, Bibian Moon, and Akira Yamamoto—as they navigate the holiday season near Nakamozu Station. The story uses the festive setting, complete with karaoke and culinary traditions, to explore central themes of friendship, cultural connection, and understanding differences.
