Details

Sumire is bold, she is creative, passionate and headstrong. She's curiously obsessed with modelling herself in the image of Jack Kerouac, and more than anything, she's desperately head-over-heels in love with her muse, Miu. Sputnik Sweetheart is a tale about pining, not just for the person you love, but for the person you wish you were. It's about finding love in its most beautiful, perplexing form.
