Tomoya, a production assistant for a television company in Japan, hears the news with the rest of the crew that Aoi has been killed in an air crash in Death Valley, California. He reflects upon his friendship with this feisty young woman who left the country to broaden her horizons as an aspiring director. He took the job she left, and ironically they first met when he attempted to bribe her away from her job at a record store so that he could be near her co-worker, a girl he wished to date. Although considered a nuisance at first, Aoi finds him a bit of a kindred spirit and casts him in a leading role in her college student film, "The End of the World" which she has written and will direct. Aoi takes the leading role opposite Tomoya when her leading actress Kyoko refuses to do a kissing scene. The two continue to console each other about their lack of romantic relationships and job opportunities in an outwardly platonic manner, but underneath deeper currents are running. Aoi's younger sister Kana may be physically blind, but she sees some emotional aspects of life more clearly than the normally sighted people in her life. 宁愿相信：对不起，还是不能爱你。The End Of The World。世界末日的记忆。那么好,那么没用。又是一场盛大的青春祭。不是身边吗。关于暗恋。喜欢豆瓣。那个站得离你最近的人。彩虹女神—你终于哭了啊。 岸田智也（市原隼人）和佐藤葵（上野树里）在大学结识。二人非常合拍，葵还常常给智也出谋划策如何追女生。葵是独立电影制作小组的成员，她要在毕业前导演一部叫《THE END OF THE WORLD》的电影，于是决定选用智也当男主角。无奈毕业后，路开始分叉。葵引荐智也去了一间影视社工作，重遇那晚葵想说出对智也的情愫，然而终究没有开口。 葵不久飞往美国留学。正巧智也抬头，看到天空挂着彩虹。他兴奋地拍下，发送给相隔重洋的葵，但是却得到了葵飞机失事罹难的噩耗。亲人同学都悲伤不已，用她生前的电影去悼念逝者，在智也的心目中，葵也始终朦胧的牵动着他内心的爱。
