Description
A cryptic will from his aunt thrusts a socially withdrawn young man into an extraordinary mystery-solving journey alongside a “voice detective.”
Having lost his mother in childhood, Sota reluctantly shares a home with his incompatible cousin at his aunt’s residence. After his aunt’s passing, a will arrives abruptly: unless Sota can 「find his aunt’s voice,」 their house will be sold, and proceeds donated. Desperate and bewildered, Sota encounters Kurihara, a gifted voice actress who can mimic any sound. He enlists her talent to trace his aunt’s past and resurrect her vanished voice. What deep-seated longing lay hidden in the aunt’s final words?
