Natsunagu!

In the aftermath of the devastating 2016 earthquakes, she loses all contact with a close friend, leaving her grappling with uncertainty and a profound sense of disconnection. Unable to simply move on without answers, Natsuna makes the difficult decision to leave her familiar urban life behind and travel to Kumamoto, hoping to uncover what happened and find closure. Upon arriving in the recovering region, she discovers a community defined by its resilience and warmth. Rather than finding only hardship, Natsuna encounters a cast of locals with vibrant, colorful personalities who gradually begin to change her perspective. Among them is Izumi, an energetic middle school girl whose presence leaves a lasting impression. Through these unexpected connections, the people of Kumamoto slowly ignite a newfound passion within Natsuna. What begins as a desperate search for a missing friend ultimately transforms into a deeply personal story of healing, self-discovery, and the powerful bonds that form in the wake of disaster.
