Then he meets Reiko Tetsumura, a free-spirited architect who is involved in the construction of a community center. After meeting her and discovering the fun of architecture, Sota dreams of becoming an architect and enrolls in a prestigious university in Tokyo that has produced many famous architects. The story depicts Sota growing up as he learns about various architectural issues, such as ``How can we build buildings that won't be destroyed by earthquakes?''
