Michika to Mari
みちかとまり
An eight-year-old girl named Mari encounters a girl named Michika in a bamboo forest during summer. Michika appears to follow her own unique set of rules. She accidentally takes a significant item from Ishizaki, a classmate and bully of Mari. Taking responsibility for the incident, Michika offers Mari a chance to enter a realm beyond conventional language, where communication and understanding function differently.
