Always be

Reintsurī no Kuni,
Hiroshi Arikawa,
published by KADOKAWA
Fairy Game, a real page-turner novel for Nobuyuki, dragged him and kept him hooked in his middle school age. Some years later, one day he found Hiromi’s opinion of the book on her blog. He responded to her and started exchanging emails before long. After exchanging a few emails Nobuyuki wished to meet Hitomi, but she hesitated to do so because…….Reintsurī no Kuni is a love story of a young couple who are destined to meet each other with an unforgettable book.
Streets of Tachikawa are seen in a movie titled Reintsurī no Kuni. The story, filmed in 2015, is based on the book, Reintsurī no Kuni. In the movie you see Nobuyuki (Yuta Tamamori) and Hitomi (Maria Nishiuchi) walking on San-San Road in the rain.
