In a secluded coastal town steeped in tradition, a young woman named Hana grapples with a growing disconnect from her community’s expectations. She finds solace in sketching the intricate details of everyday life, yet feels stifled by the predetermined path laid out for her.

As Hana navigates evolving relationships and uncovers hidden histories within her town’s folklore, she begins to question her own aspirations. The narrative unfolds with a quiet intensity, exploring themes of self-discovery and the complexities of finding one's place amidst cultural preservation and personal desires.

This is the equivalent to a gag episode. I don't think Tsurune has created a cast of characters that is quite unique and entertaining enough to hold up an episode that's entirely meant for being a senseless comedy episode. If you really love these characters, then you'll probably like this episode more than I did (I do love these characters, but I'm not obsessed with them or Tsurune--I just think this anime was fun and relaxing to watch); in truth, if characters have been created that are obsession-worthy, if you will, the viewer will watch them do anything. Tsurune doesn't have characters like that. Moreover,if I'm being honest, this isn't a particularly good gag episode regardless of how loveable the characters are. nnThe plot itself is flat at the same time as it's ridiculous. Yes, it's fun to see these characters interacting outside of kyuudo competitions as that's the only significant way these two teams have interacted thus far, but the way this episode achieved that could have been done a million different ways, and this wasn't a good way. I commend the story for trying to place everyone in one spot to do kyuudo and staying that way because, in essence, Tsurune itself is actually that simple--but the contents of this episode just didn't have the same heart the first thirteen episodes did. -

Well, I am on a tsurune spree so I watched this right after s1….and I thoroughly enjoyed this special episode….It is not random episode for it starts off right after the tournament, and thanks to this minor event, we get to see the bonding between kazemai and kirisaki members in masaki’s shrine. It truly is a sight to behold. The episode had a comedic relief to it too which you’ll understand when you see it. I think all characters are likeable, although those twins are pretty annoying but thankfully they kinda redeem themselves….so it’s really awesome to see them being all goofy yet serious aboutkyuudou in this episode. Overall, a must watch. Don’t skip it before you go to s2. -

(Spanish review below) It's a pretty fun special episode to watch. You might think that it doesn't add much to the world of Tsurune, but in a way it makes the Kazenmai and Kirisaki clubs begin to form a bond that will make a lot of sense in the second season. Between both seasons, this is the funniest episode without a doubt. I recommend it! ... Es un episodio especial bastante divertido de ver. Se podría pensar que no aporta mucho al mundo de Tsurune, pero en cierta forma hace que los clubes de Kazenmai y Kirisaki comiencen a formar un vínculo que tendrá mucho sentido en la segundatemporada. Entre ambas temporadas, este es el episodio más divertido sin dudas.nn¡Lo recomiendo!
