Yutaka Yoshii awakens from a decade-long coma. He is 24 now and finds himself within a world that has considerably changed: his family has has broken up, his parents have divorced whereas his sister has only recently returned from the United States. Yutaka soon discovers that his family home, which was formerly a dude ranch, has been turned into a kind of fish farming business run by the nonconformist Fujimori, one of his father’s friends. Yutaka would love to re-open the ranch but he quickly realizes that his childhood dream will never come true…
