Zettai Shonen

The divorce of Aizawa Ayumu’s parents has been very hard on him. After four years of not seeing his father, his mother bribes him with a bicycle, into spending a summer with his father in a very rural country village some many hours away from Tokyo. After spending a few days in the quiet and boring village, he begins to notice that everything is a bit odd. Flowers are blooming out of season, there are stories of strange cats and water kappas, Ayumu encounters dashing lights that cross his path suddenly and people acting in very strange ways, but there is nothing that Ayumu can put a finger on. And then one day while on an outing, Ayumu encounters a strange young boy named Wakkun, a boy lives alone protected only by the fireflies, which somehow appear to be small spaceships. And with a blink of an eye, both the boy and fireflies are gone, but Ayumu’s summer of mystery has only just begun.
