The Most Beautiful Night in the World

Kaname, a village renowned for having the highest birth rate in Japan, is preparing for a momentous visit from the Prime Minister to celebrate its demographic achievement. The atmosphere is festive, yet one 14-year-old girl is preoccupied with exposing the truth behind Kaname's remarkable birth rate. She is composing a revealing letter to a leading journalist, unraveling an intricate tale that began 14 years earlier. At that time, Kazuya Mizuno, a disgraced big-city reporter, found himself reassigned to a mundane role at Kaname's local newspaper. However, the village soon proved to be more intriguing than it initially appeared, boasting unique characters like Shimeko, a brilliant yet unabashed girl, and her father, an accomplished fisherman and folk singer.
