Watanabe, the protagonist of the novel, unfolds his love affair with two girls in the first person. Watanabe's first love, Naoko, was the girlfriend of his high school classmate, Kizuki, who later committed suicide. A year later, Watanabe meets Naoko by chance and starts dating her. At this time Naoko has become quiet and shy, beautiful crystal eyes from time to time swept through a difficult to catch a hint of shade. Day after day, the two of them walked aimlessly along the leafy streets of Tokyo, either in front of or behind each other or side by side. On the night of Naoko's 20th birthday, they had sex, but the next day Naoko disappeared. A few months later, Naoko writes to say that she has been admitted to a mental sanatorium far away in the mountains. When Watanabe visits, he realizes that Naoko has begun to take on the plumpness and beauty of a mature woman. The two of them share a room in the evening, but Watanabe restrains himself and says that he will always wait for Naoko before parting. Shortly after returning to school, Watanabe begins a relationship with Midori, a junior, as a result of a chance encounter. Midori is the opposite of the introverted Naoko, "like a deer jumping into the world in the morning light of spring". During this period, Watanabe was in great distress. On the one hand, he could not forget Naoko's lingering illness and tenderness, but on the other hand, he could not resist Midori's bold confession and charming vigor. Soon after the news of Naoko's suicide comes, Watanabe goes hiking around in a state of despair. Finally, with the encouragement of Naoko's fellow patient, Reiko, he begins to figure out what to do with his life thereafter.
