Hiatari Ryoko! KA-SU-MI Yume no Naka ni Kimi ga Ita

ヒアタリリョウコウカスミ

Aired: 1988

A theatrical anime film based on Mitsuru Adachi's shojo manga. Conceived as an animation-original sequel to the television series, it portrays a summer in which the high schoolers gathered at the Tokyo boarding house Hidamari weave together poignant memories of a deceased brother and present-day romances as they each begin walking toward their own futures. Adachi's signature breezy atmosphere and the softly shimmering ache of youth are skilfully supported by careful animation, score and theme songs, leaving a quiet resonance with fans of the franchise.
