About Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku wo: Youkoso Tsugumi Ryou e

Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku wo: Youkoso Tsugumi Ryou e (この青空に約束を― 〜ようこそつぐみ寮へ〜) blends drama and slice of life by Artland (2007). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: One morning, Wataru Hoshino found a sleeping girl - in nothing but her underwear - in his room. When she woke up, she rapidly escaped by jumping out of the window, but not without punching Wataru in the face first.

Soon after, this girl, Rinna Sawaki, ends up being a transfer pupil of Wataru's school, as well as the new roommate of Wataru's dormitory. Wataru lives with four other girls and their school teacher, but due to Temizugawa Heavy Industry's cancellation of their aviation branch - South Sakojima Island's major company - the families involved with the corporation have. As a result of this, the four girls have to leave the island in one year's time.

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Satomi Koorogi as Rinna Sawaki and Yuuichi Nakamura as Wataru Hoshino. Think of it as a pick for viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
