A glimmer of light leads him to an ancient tree stump with a giant hole in it; a hole that impossibly leads to an entire city. It’s the same city as his - the same people and places - but, with a key difference: the Takuya in that world is alive and well...while Takeru is not.

Side notes: There were actually two stories that hit the core when I read the synopsis of this manga. It's not been a long time since I watched the Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies, 1988) anime movie and before that there was a pretty well know story of Boku dake ga Inai Machi (The Town Where Only I am Missing, 2012-2015). The art as you can guess by looking the cover is quite personalized and sketchy thou it's on okay level. Characters and the story itself is the key magic for this manga and for now I'm liking how it has been working out.^-^b
