Synopsis of Rail Romanesque
After learning about the possible construction of a factory along an emblematic river in his hometown of Ohitoyo, Migita Sotetsu returns home to change the ideals of those responsible for this proposal. Despite the fact that half 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 town needs a system that allows it to be fiscally independent instead of relying on a factory to improve its 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. Though dim, Hachiroku and Sotetsu strike up a deep and unlikely connection, and through this bond, they will work together to restore the village to its former glory.
