Drama Digest

The story is about three friends. Shirou, a junior high school boy, lived in a city named Minami Shimabara. He spent his days with his school friends. On summer days, his childhood friend, Akane came back to the city from Tokyo. Shirou and Akane are excited to play during the summer vacations. They take a stroll and go to meet with Tokiya. They are reminded of the nostalgia of their childhood. Suddenly a mysterious creature appears before them. The creature helps them to unfold the mere events in this city. Can they find out the identity of the creature?

The Feel-Good Part

The story has a beautiful plot. There is a fine blend of thriller and mystery in the show. The three main characters have their perfect exposure in unfolding their own stories. The moment their paths crossed with each other, their stories were tied together.

The Disappointing Factor

There is not that much depth in the characters to portray; rather, they seem dull sometimes. Some unnecessary plot makes the audience dizzy. Every aspect of the characters has faced some trouble. People can notice the loopholes in the anime.

In-Depth Analysis

The friendship between the three shown here is remarkable for the audiences. The anime also shows that hard work is the key to success. IF you work hard, it will never fail you. Besides this, the voice artists did a great job. Every avatar is feeling alive through their voices. The song choice is also pretty good. They beautifully conveyed their emotions through music. People can see their struggle to find the events in the city. Each episode of this anime is consuming 1 minute which is perfect for an in-between anime to watch.

Star Power

The voice actors did an excellent job. The characters are well portrayed through their voices.

Overall Opinion

The anime is delightful and fun to watch. The songs and the art design are terrific. It is also very intriguing. Hence one should give it a try. They would not regret watching it. Especially non-anime viewers should also watch it.  It is a mini anime series that is an easy watch.
