Is death truly the end if you are never forgotten?

Like most girls, Lala loves music, her friends and her family. However, Lala is not like most girls. Lala is a "collector" from the Memory Clan, a group of enchanted beings who are called upon to remember the lives of every human when they die.

Unique lives create unique endings; no two are the same. The Memory Clan's purpose is to keep each person's story alive. The clan also has one simple rule: "Do not get involved in human affairs." For Lala, this isn't easy since she is absolutely entranced by humans and their stories. As a result, she risks losing everything and everyone she loves.
