Haruto is the son of the head priest of Hibiragi shrine.

Separated by a tragic event, the two meet again several years later. The story revolves around Kano and Haruto, who remain at a cautious distance—neither too close nor too far—as they grow up. It depicts with a certain tension the fine subtleties of feeling experienced in the difficult adolescent years. (Source: MU)
