    Synopsis:

    The series centers on Kaoru, whose daily routine revolves around a hopeful vigil at the harbor, awaiting the return of someone named Kenshin. This simple act becomes a catalyst for reflection, prompting a deep dive into shared memories and the evolution of their relationship. The narrative unfolds through poignant moments of reminiscence, exploring the complexities of time and its impact on personal history.

    The atmosphere is contemplative and understated, emphasizing emotional resonance over high-action or fantastical elements. It’s a story that lingers on quiet observations, subtly revealing the weight of past experiences and the enduring power of connection. The anime invites viewers to consider themes of longing, acceptance, and the way individual lives are shaped by shared journeys. Expect a character-driven experience focusing on inner emotional landscapes rather than external conflicts.
