Wash It All Away 06

With an endearing protagonist and luscious art, this seaside slice-of-life story offers tranquility in the chaos of the modern world.

Wakana reflects on her past two years in Atami, while Kyusho prepares to leave for a part-time holiday job in Tokyo. She then celebrates Christmas with her friends in a surprise party, and Nairo makes a social-media video of her to mark the new year. The video catches the eye of a young girl who requests the cleaning of a ribbon, but is Wakana supposed to know this girl from her past?
