[Synopsis]

"I saw your flyer. If you don't mind, could you please correct my work?"

A strange correspondence between a boy who writes poetry and his "teacher" who is knowledgeable about literature begins with a single letter.

"Now you must find a single grain of amber in the vast ocean of sand."

Guided by his teacher's words, the boy learns about words and the world.

But one day, he notices a subtle sense of discomfort in the letters they exchange...

The secret correspondence eventually leads to an unexpected truth.

"Teacher, what kind of person is your teacher?"

YORUSHIKA writes a "letter-style novel" through the experience of opening actual envelopes and letters one by one.
