About Umi Monogatari

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

As things develop, 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. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

The drama focus matters here: character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Its 6.2/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Kana Asumi as Marin, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2009, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
