The story takes place in an alternate version of Kyoto in the early 20th century. In this world, only steam technology has advanced, while electricity remains a distant dream. On the other hand, the city is shrouded in smoke, reflecting a stagnant future.
The story follows a boy scarred by the loss of his brother and a girl who hides her desires and regrets. Meanwhile, they join forces in the search for the mysterious "20th Century Electric Catalog," an object that represents forgotten dreams.
Thus, Sparks of Tomorrow promises a journey about overcoming challenges, making choices, and regenerating, blending adventure, emotion, and historical fiction.
