Story
Sayaka runs the family bento shop in a small village in Japan. She took it over after her mother passed away nearly two years ago, putting her college studies on hold as a result. Running the bento shop is also her only source of income to support herself and her little sister, Akemi.
One day, she receives an acceptance letter for the scholarship she applied for. She should feel nothing but joy — but instead, she finds herself torn: pursue her education in Tokyo and leave the shop behind, or stay and keep the bento shop running. She has about 30 days to decide.
