Plot Review
The story begins with the heroine trying to escape a burning church, followed by a vision of her drowning. Afterward, she awakens in the back room of a cafe, with no memories, as people who seem to know her argue about how to help her. A strangely dressed boy named Orion appears, floating in midair, and explains that he is a spirit whom only the heroine can see or hear. He informs her that she lost her memories from before August 1st, three days ago, due to his carelessness, and he will try to help her recover them. He advises her to keep her amnesia a secret.
The heroine starts regaining small pieces of her memories. She finds a picture of her with her face scribbled out in her mailbox. As she walks home, a group of girls confront the heroine saying that she broke their "promise". The heroine remembers the girls attacking her, and faints.
The heroine returns to the cafe she collapsed in, after realizing that she works there, and regains another memory. She remembers Shin, her childhood friend, sitting next to her and telling her that he killed someone. As the heroine and Orion head home, she is almost run over by a truck, but a mysterious young man with long green hair saves her. He asks if she remembers him before leaving. The next day, the Heroine goes on a trip with her coworkers into the forest. She remembers going with her coworker Kent to a festival, but Kent doesn't remember the event. At night, walking outside with Shin, she becomes frightened of him and starts running away from him, and accidentally falls off a cliff. The green-haired man appears, but can't reach her in time.
Suddenly, she wakes up bandaged in the hospital and realizes that time has reverted back to August 1. Orion has disappeared. Shin enters her hospital room, and to her surprise, kisses her.
Shin takes the heroine to the college she attends. Shin tells her more about who he is and about their relationship. In the band room, he attempts to kiss her and bring back some memories, but she evades him and he gives up. On the way home, she meets the green haired man and he speaks to her enigmatically. Shin shows up, and the green haired man walks away.
.............As they walk home, the heroine steps into the road and about to be hit by a truck when she loses vision. She suddenly wakes up in her room and realizes that time has reverted back to August 1 again. She meets with Ikki, a coworker who always wears sunglasses, outside her apartment, and he teases her and offers sexual favors. ..........The heroine goes on the trip into the forest with the fan club. When they are alone, Ikki tells her that when he was younger, he wished on a falling star that girls would fall in love with him, and it came true: any girl who looks into his eyes falls for him instantly. But over time he has come to despise the superficial levels of affection he receives. He cares for the heroine because his supernatural charm does not work on her, and her affections for him are genuine. The following night, at a pier, the Heroine is confronted by the four girls that are in Ikki's fan club, and learns that they choose to only date him for three months each in order to share him. They threaten her because she broke a promise to deliver her "daily report" about her activities with Ikki, which was their condition for allowing her to date him. The girls push the Heroine onto a small boat and push the boat out into the lake. Orion appears again, and they talk for a few minutes before realizing that the boat has begun leaking. The heroine panics, falls into the water, and drowns. ......The heroine suddenly appears outside her apartment, and she receives a text message from Kent, who says to meet up with him at the cafe (also realizing that she's back to August 1st). After sitting there for a while, Kent asks her what exactly was wrong with his attitude that she disagreed against. The heroine has no idea what he's talking about, so she plays around the conversation by apologizing. ...... Kent holds on to the heroine's hand, saying "I'll see you tomorrow?" The heroine says yes, but as they cross the street, a man bumps into her and she lets go of his hand. After a few moments, she is suddenly walking across a street in the broad daylight during a red light and her hand is grabbed by someone. "What are you spacing out for?" a voice says. She turns around and sees Toma grabbing her hand. The heroine finally arrives home, where she is able to open her diary by using her bobby pin where she sees that she had written that she loved Toma, and that on August the 1st was the day she had planned to tell him. Ikki knew of this. After the heroine had read it, Toma rushes in with an angered face. At first, he starts talking about how it was dangerous to go outside and how she kept "running away" from him. He moves in closer to her and notices her injuries. Toma tells her that since she did not know how his hurt heart felt, he would stop caring if she gets hurt too. Then he says, "If I take all of you by force, you'll no longer see anything but me. Or will you break instead?" The heroine replies that she knows that he wouldn't do that. So, Toma asks, "If I can't protect you, should I break you? I believe that I'll still love you, so..." Seeing that the Heroine got afraid, he apologizes but says that he doesn't plan to let her hand go. As he closes into her face, the diary that the Heroine was holding the whole time falls down to the floor where Toma notices it. He asks her what it was and the Heroine replies that it was her diary. After he reads her diary and understands what she had felt, he apologizes and tells her he loves her. Because she got injured in the last episode Toma takes her to the hospital, where Ikki and his fanclub apologizes to her. Toma leaves and the next scene was at the hospital where everything was dark. Ukyo comes and picks the heroine up while she is sleeping and drops her off the building. Then, the memories at the burning building with the watchtower is shown again. She then arrives back on August the 1st where a lot of "bad" things happened to her like almost getting hit by a train but Ukyo's warnings prevented her death.The story begins once again when Ukyo reveals the fact that .....During the credits all the different versions of the Heroine together with guys in the different worlds the Heroine went to. At the end, she is seen with five cards appearing to her, she smiles and finally returns to her original world.
