Ayameiro no Natsu

Synopsis

A story based on real events. On September 18, 1988, the mountain Yamatsu village located on the prefectural border between Iwate Prefecture and Akita Prefecture collapsed due to a large-scale earthquake. The rescue activity was significantly delayed because of a typhoon. As a result over 300 people were dead or missing.

This is a story of him returning to the village as an adult and experiencing this disaster that's implied to have absolutely different sources...
