    Synopsis:

    The series follows Akari Mizunashi, a young woman who has achieved her ambition of becoming a Prima Undine – a performer in the canals of Neo-Venezia. However, as she approaches the responsibility of leading Aria Company, a renowned gondola service, self-doubt begins to surface. Seeking guidance, Akari turns to Alicia Florence, a respected figure known as one of the city’s Water Fairies and a seasoned company owner.

    Alicia offers not just practical advice but also shares her own past anxieties surrounding leadership and mentorship. Through these personal reflections, she illuminates a path for Akari to navigate her insecurities and embrace the challenges ahead. The narrative explores themes of self-belief, mentorship, and the delicate balance between artistic passion and practical responsibility within a unique, water-centric urban environment. It presents a contemplative look at pursuing one's dreams while confronting internal limitations.
