Synopsis

As another school year begins drawing to a close, the third-year high school students move steadily toward the next milestone of their lives: graduation. Among them are Mio Natsume, a girl burdened with lingering feelings; Hazuki Morikawa, a member of the concert band but distant from the others; and Haruto Souma, an athlete obsessed with baseball. Meanwhile, second-year student Ena Komiya seeks to revive the photography club to its former glory, refusing to let the organization be disbanded. Though this group lacks a strong connection with one another, their lives suddenly cross paths with the arrival of a third-year transfer student.

While a transfer so close to graduation is unusual for most, it is business as usual for Eita Izumi. Due to his father's work, he has never been able to stay in one place for very long. But as luck would have it, their most recent relocation has returned Eita to his hometown for his final semester of high school. For better or worse, it also sparks the rekindling of old relationships left behind in the past.

With graduation already causing its own share of anxieties, Eita's sudden arrival brings these students' carefree days to an abrupt end. Long-forgotten memories, deeply buried emotions, and inspiring new passions—everything is brought to light in their bittersweet final semester.

This is the first time I'll write a review because I think it deserves more love.

First of this anime really capture something beautiful, there is a lot of feelings involved both sadness and happy moments.
Great art style with good music matching the scenes. It might be short but it doesn't have to be longer even though I wish it was.
I'd say this is what a Slice of Life/Drama/Romance series should be like. There are interested characters and you'll want to root for every main characters happiness. I can see why people have different opinions about it, but from my perspective it's really a masterpiece.

Mixed Feelings
Damn. It had potential. I'm really mad about how one can come up with those ideas and characters, without fanservice, just a realistic, natural romance anime, but fumble it. Like fr I think love triangles have been the end of me in these romance animes. I'm done with this. I was all excited and shi when I noticed Komiya started to have feelings for Izumi and the way it started and evolved was just... real. I may be exagerating when I'm saying that Komiya's character was amazing, but she's probably one of the best "just a second girl used to make up a love triangle ...

Picked it up purely because it was by Hajime Kamoshida - definitely not his best work.

Boring. Not much happens every episode. Felt as if three pages of manga were somehow stretched into each episode.

Weirdly paced dialogue. Conversations felt stiff/robotic.

Poorly animated. Especially when characters run towards/away from the camera.

Unrealistic character interactions.
