Synopsis
A perpetual transfer student returns to his hometown for his final semester, rekindling old relationships among graduating classmates.
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.

- 10/10 “This anime is so beautiful, the music complements the story almost perfectly. Though the art for me is a bit too stiff, but the story will be it's saving grace. I'm not saying I don't like the way...”
- 9/10 “Art: What i like most from Just Because! is of course the art. I like it when an anime has a beautiful and wonderful art. Art is one of three factors beside story and music that will make me stay...”
- 7/10 “nothing severely memorable. Pretty cool anime, the ED is fine and OP is cool. The college parts make me feel queezy, and the dialogue is a bit cringy and akward. (Too akward for my liking) I love...”
