Synopsis:

Haruto, a cinema enthusiast grappling with creative stagnation, seeks to rekindle his passion through filmmaking. The sudden death of his close friend and rival, Hina Yusuke, casts a long shadow over his ambitions. His world is unexpectedly disrupted by Mahiro Sendo, who claims responsibility for Yusuke's passing and proposes a collaborative project. This revelation throws Haruto into emotional turmoil, further complicated by the resentment of Yusuke’s younger sister, Asuka, who holds him accountable. The narrative explores themes of grief, guilt, and artistic expression within a backdrop of youthful ambition and unresolved trauma. The series examines how personal responsibility and the pursuit of creative fulfillment can intertwine with deeply felt loss and blame.

Reviews:

  • User Leyren (Score: 5/10):
    This one is pretty useless to watch. You actually have to read the synopsis to get what's going on, as nothing of it is explained in the OVA itself. Shortly put, the story is about a girl which is somehow being blamed for the death of some dude. Therefore, she thinks of herself as a horrible person who should be with nobody and cuts all ties with her friends. In the end, they find her and they reunite. The End. It is unclear how that person died, or who that person was for that matter, how she is to blame for that, and how that person (orthe girl) is related to the other main character(s). Even for a single short OVA, it leaves a lot of open questions and vagueness. On top of that, it's quite boring.
