When someone close to you dies--be it a friend, a classmate, a significant other, or a family member--it strikes a chord. Things change. Close friends drift apart. Some move on, and some stay firmly rooted in the past.
Such is the case with Jinta "Jintan" Yadomi, a high school-aged {{Hikikomori}}. After the death of Meiko "Menma" Honma, Jintan and their four other friends--Naruko "Anaru" Anjo, Atsumu "Yukiatsu" Matsuyuki, Chiriko "Tsuruko" Tsurumi, and Tetsudo "Poppo" Hisakawa--begin to lose touch with each other and move on with their lives. Five years later, Menma's ghost pays him a visit, asking him to help her fulfill a wish. Just what that wish is, she doesn't completely remember, but getting the old gang back together is a start.

* GratuitousRussian: The sign on the gate of the Honma residence lists the family members' names in Japanese and Romanized transliterations, except Irene, whose name is given in Cyrillic instead. What's more, the Cyrillic rendering appears to have been simply transliterated letter for letter from the Latin script spelling as Ирене. While not entirely inconceivable, this variant is highly improbable as a name for someone born and raised in Russia (the most common Russian equivalent to "Irene" is Ирина, "Irina", while the show's katakana spelling イレーヌ, ''Irēnu'', is normally used for the French variant ''Irène'', whose Russified version is spelled as either "Ирэн" or "Ирен").
