About Umi Monogatari

Here is what Umi Monogatari (うみものがたり ～あなたがいてくれたコト～) is about, retold in plain terms: a drama, fantasy and mahou shoujo anime by ZEXCS (2009). What the story covers: Marin and her sister Urin live in the sea. One day they find a ring fallen into the sea.

From there, they get out of the sea and meet a girl Kanon, the owner of the ring. Kanon tells them she doesn't want the ring anymore because it was given by her boyfriend whom she just broke up with, and she throws it into the forest. Marin thinks Kanon is still in love with him and looks for the ring with her sister.

With drama at the core, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Marin (Kana Asumi) and Urin (Yui Horie) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
