坂道のアポロン

In the summer of 1966, Kaoru Nishimi, a studious and introverted high school freshman, moves from Yokosuka to Kyushu to live with relatives. Accustomed to solitude due to his family's constant relocations, he expects another lonely year. His life changes when he meets Sentaro Kawabuchi, a notorious troublemaker with a deep passion for jazz music.

Through Sentaro, Kaoru discovers the joy of playing jazz on the piano, forming his first real friendship. Together with Ritsuko Mukae, the kind daughter of a record shop owner, they spend their afternoons in the shop's basement, playing music and growing closer. As Kaoru opens up, he finds himself entangled in a summer of friendship, budding romance, and the liberating power of music.
