Synopsis:

Beiyu High School becomes the backdrop for a quietly unfolding narrative centered on the evolving relationship between Takahiro Matsui and his senior, Yuji Tsukamoto. Matsui’s arrival stirs a subtle shift in the school's atmosphere as he reconnects with Tsukamoto, a figure long admired from afar. The story explores the complexities of admiration and the weight of past events when Tsukamoto shares a significant incident from three years prior. Set against the backdrop of high school life and competitive swimming, the anime delicately examines themes of unspoken feelings, ambition, and the lingering impact of personal history on present connections. It presents a character-driven experience focusing on nuanced interactions and emotional depth, rather than action-packed sequences.
