Synopsis

A trip to the beach turns out to be more than expected for two people who are mourning the losses of their beloved. Perhaps a mysterious girl known as the "Umi Warabe" can help them to heal their wounds and move on with their lives.

Matsunaga Yoshihiro is the chaperone for a group of high-school students on a summer trip to the beach. One night he saves one of the students, Morisawa Nao, as she attempts to drown herself. She had been on this same trip a year ago, with her fiancee, who was later killed in a plane crash. As these two get to know each other, we find that Yoshihiro also has a painful secret from his past. Watching over everything is a mysterious young girl who somehow is always there at decisive moments.

Refrain Blue is based being at the beach, a long lost promise you remember, a long lost promise you don't remember, multiple people falling in love with you, tragedy, and giant breasts or ecchi. The main character made a promise to a girl a long time ago by the ocean, and then she died. Nao is a girl who is also at the beach, who also had a boyfriend die in the past. Colors were scattered and didn't fit one particular color palette, but were vibrant, thus making everything look a bit odd. While it wasn't anything fantastic, the music was probably the only ...
