After more than a decade away, **Yukari Miyazawa** returns to his hometown of **Ominato**.
At the high school he transfers into, he finds the Deer Dance Club on the verge of being shut down—and reunites with his childhood friend, **Yoshimune Hoshi**, the only boy still dancing there.
Like young deer struggling to lift their heavy bodies on trembling, slender legs, the two boys begin to dance—
holding the sea of their hometown close to their hearts.
The first volume of a manga series centered on high school students who take part in **Shishi Odori (Deer Dance)**, a traditional folk performing art of northeastern Japan, while portraying life in a port town, the relationship between two childhood friends, and their connections to the land and its local traditions.
