Synopsis of Rail Romanesque
After learning of the possible construction of a factory along an emblematic river in her hometown of Ohitoyo, Migita Sotetsu returns home to change the ideals of those responsible for this proposal. Despite the fact that half of the town supports the construction, the other half fears the possible contamination of the emblematic river.
Recognizing the decline in Ohitoyo’s economy in recent decades, Sotetsu believes that the people need a system that allows them to be fiscally independent rather than relying on a factory to improve their economy, and develops a strategy to achieve this goal.
During this time, Sotetsu encounters an android-like entity named Hachiroku while rummaging through his late father’s belongings. Although less than encouraged, Hachiroku and Sotetsu make a deep and unlikely connection, and through this bond, they will work together to restore the ancient glory of the people.
