Set in the mid-1800s during the Edo period, the story follows Seikichi Tamaya, a fireworks maker. Seikichi and his friends find themselves struggling under the weight of harsh frugality laws imposed by a strict city magistrate. These laws ban all forms of luxury—including the very fireworks Seikichi creates.
The plot takes a fantastical turn when a mysterious girl visits Seikichi’s shop with an extraordinary request: she wants him to build a firework capable of reaching the moon.
