The time-travel romance manga debuted in the January 2015 issue of Kodansha’s josei magazine Kiss and released its 14th and final volume on February 13, the same date as the anime’s announcement. Kodansha USA describes the synopsis as such:
On rainy days, Hina has dreams about her younger self playing with a mysterious boy in a garden she’s never seen before—until, by chance, she stumbles upon the place. There’s a young man there, Takaaki, who mistakes Hina for his fiancée Hinako. He whisks her back to what he thinks is her home, where Hina’s doppelganger is waiting, and Hina realizes this isn’t the Tokyo she left behind but Japan in the year 1907! Is this all a dream or something much stranger?
A spin-off set after the main story will begin serialization this fall.
