High School student Shinichi Kudou was a virtual Sherlock Holmes, who the Tokyo police regularly turned to for help in solving baffling cases. But then he accidentally learned too much for his own good about a murder case, and was caught by the villains. They poisoned him and left him for dead, but the "poison" had an unexpected effect--rather than killing him, it caused Shinichi to revert to the appearance of an elementary school boy! He retains his skills as a brilliant detective, however, and since that incident has managed to become adopted by his former girlfriend and her less-than-exemplary private detective father. With them he carries on his passion, and searches for clues to a possible antidote to the poison he was forced to swallow.

Flowers are blooming out of season, there are stories of strange cats and water kappas, Ayumu encounters dashing lights that cross his path suddenly and people acting in very strange ways, but there is nothing that Ayumu can put a finger on. And then one day while on an outing, Ayumu encounters a strange young boy named Wakkun, a boy lives alone protected only by the fireflies, which somehow appear to be small spaceships. And with a blink of an eye, both the boy and fireflies are gone, but Ayumu’s summer of mystery has only just begun.
