Hitou Meguri Kakure Yu

Mikio returns to his hometown for the first time in half a year. The first thing he sees is the traditional Japanese onsen inn managed by Yukino Chitose, his childhood friend and someone who once held a special place in his heart. Despite the passing of half a year, Chitose still possesses a girlish appearance. However, the traditional clothes that she wears bring out a mature and beautiful feel about her. As Mikio reconnects with his past and the familiar warmth of the inn, he finds himself drawn once again to the complex relationship he shares with Chitose. In this quiet mountain town where memories linger like steam from the hot springs, old feelings begin to resurface, setting the stage for a poignant tale of love, longing, and the bittersweet nature of reunions.
