Four daily routines
The setting is what appears to be an ordinary small town, with several stories revolving around different protagonists and female leads. Four groups of characters share a wish mechanic, with each chapter using a different protagonist. Nighttime campuses, going to school together, and suddenly starting shared life create interpersonal scenes before and after the desire takes effect.
Wishes and guides
Having a chance to fulfill a wish in one's lifetime is a common premise for all chapters of the work. Those who get opportunities will meet a guide, and the previous person who has experienced the wish will explain the rules; Thus, the use of wishes involves both what you want and how you are willing to treat the next person.
Xiwei and Bumei were not as good as Bu
Shiina Nozomi is very shy and hopes to calmly observe others when speaking; romance still feels distant to her. Ayumi Takatsuki is the protagonist's classmate and childhood friend in the corresponding arc; she wakes her up in the morning and goes to school together; She is serious and assertive; they often bicker, and kiwifruit is one of her distinctive favorites.
Cool and Yuriko
Mie Ye Liang likes fairy tales; she appears quiet on the outside but is proactive in her actions. She attends another private school but is eager to visit the protagonist's campus. Yuriko Yagami doesn't want to be the center of attention, preferring to keep herself within the bounds of average and common sense; This self-restraint is the gateway to getting to know her.

The scripts for the four chapters were written by Tomo Kataoka, Nabunri Nakamori, Kazumi Tomi, and Nachi Kio. Character design and key animation also have divisions of work; the original credited copy lists artists such as Fujimiya Appli, Yamino Kenji, and U-R.
