Synopsis:

Shiori, a high school student, wakes up every morning at 7 a.m. to the lively sound of weaving looms, which serve as her alarm clock. Cheerful and kind to everyone, she nevertheless struggles with daily life due to her strong fixations on routines—such as the arrangement of table settings or which foot she steps forward with first. One day, her best friend Mariko submits Shiori’s clothing design to a school fashion contest. At Mariko’s suggestion, the design was also entered into a fashion show in Ichinomiya City. With Mariko’s support, Shiori begins creating her garment.

When her older sister Fumi learns of this, she projects her own past disappointments onto Shiori and finds herself torn between wanting to support her and hesitating to push her forward. Their father, Yasutaka, fiercely opposes the idea, fearing that Shiori might get hurt. However, through her challenge of creating clothing and the many people she meets along the way, Shiori gradually begins to develop a growing determination…
