When Amanda Etheridge's carefully constructed New York life comes crashing down through no fault of her own, she finds herself on an unexpected 800-mile journey from corporate advertising to country music's heartland. This former workaholic, put on paid leave and utterly lost without her career, reluctantly follows her boss's advice to expand her horizons. Guided by radio static and country melodies, she arrives in Nashville - a city bursting with color and sound where her life is about to change forever.
The moment she steps into this musical wonderland, she hears the voice that will redefine her existence: "Hello, Nashville. Would you like to hear a song about love?" That angelic whisper belongs to Juliet Sutherland, a 19-year-old wandering musician who left Los Angeles to pursue her musical pilgrimage. This out-and-proud lesbian has been honing her craft from street performances to bar gigs, and her first day in Nashville brings her face-to-face with Amanda.
Meanwhile, Amanda represents everything Juliet isn't - a 27-year-old closeted lesbian who escaped her Midwest upbringing for New York corporate life, only to find herself passionless and drifting. Her measured existence of ethnic food, cigarettes, and books contrasts sharply with Juliet's world of steak, whiskey, and sunshine. Yet their chance meeting sparks something neither woman expected.
Cosmillica delivers another masterpiece with this rich visual novel experience featuring:
What begins as Juliet's casual invitation to "bathe in the sun, chase the clouds, get caught in the rain, and sleep under the stars" evolves into a transformative journey for both women. Amanda's internal struggle - captured in her anxious thought "Oh, no. What did... How much more of this am I going to regret?" - mirrors the vulnerability of anyone discovering their authentic self later in life. The Japanese doujin group, active since 2010, demonstrates their growing mastery of character-driven storytelling that respects both the romance and the realism of such life-changing connections.
