El agua siempre vuelve al mar, 3

Sakaki's mother left home after an affair and never returned, so the girl hasn't seen her since. Now, she's going to visit her with Naotatsu in the coastal town where she lives. Seeing her happy with her new family, they're about to back out of their plans, but in a sudden impulse, Naotatsu turns on his heel and manages to reunite Sakaki with her mother after 10 years. Thus, Naotatsu and Sakaki find themselves in the middle of a short but long journey, a journey that allows time to continue passing after what happened a decade ago. The moment has come to confront feelings repressed for so many years and let them go... This concludes this work by Rettou Tajima, which presents us with an unconventional "boy meets girl" story, complete with its imperfections, age difference, and living under the same roof.
