Summary:
Yukito Kunisaki is on a journey, seeking a girl with wings who flies in the sky, as mentioned in a childhood tale. During this journey, he settles down in a small town, trying to make some money. There, he meets a strange girl named Misuzu. Misuzu quickly makes Yukito her friend and invites him to stay with her. Yukito decides to stay in the small town, and continue searching for the winged girl his mother had searched for in her life.
True masterpiece, slow but deep and flawless plotline with grand emotion and thought behind it, heartwarming yet ever so sad, and with its play on surreal themes even more beautiful. Animation and music are highly fitting, with the summery colourfulness of the scenery beautifully contradicting all the tragedy. A rare gem among all softer animes!
