Synopsis:

In a secluded rural town, a young woman named Hana finds her ordinary life subtly disrupted by the arrival of several enigmatic girls with a shared, unspoken purpose. The narrative unfolds within a quiet, almost melancholic atmosphere, exploring themes of identity and belonging amidst the backdrop of traditional Japanese landscapes. Hana becomes increasingly drawn into their world, navigating complex relationships and uncovering hidden histories connected to the town’s past. The series delves into the nuances of human connection, examining how shared experiences shape individual perspectives and challenge established norms.

Reviews:

  • User lamaraptor (Score: 6/10):
    Extremely unremarkable. It's basically a single episode broken up into 3 parts. It involves the idiot squad or whatever they were calling themselves going on or trying to go on a trip together and continually messing it up along the way. There's characters being portrayed as overly stupid for comedic effect and then there's characters just being as stupid as the plot needs them to be so the misunderstandings can happen. After watching the main series this just felt tiresome, nothing new was explored and it felt like it didn't really add much at all to the experience. I give it a 6/10
