While story is an ordinary tale of young growth, the beautiful artwork and careful sound design drawed me in. Yoshida Brothers, shamisen artists, not only supervised this series music and participated in the backing of the ending theme sung by Kato Miriya, but also contributed to the quality of the shamisen part, which is trully a heart of this anime.
