About Ajimu: Kaigan Monogatari

Ajimu: Kaigan Monogatari (あじむ ～海岸物語～) arrives as a comedy anime by Actas (2001), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: Seventeen year old Nakaido Hirosuke is just your average high school learner. One morning as he arrives at the train station on his way to school, he catches sight of a beautiful girl, Ajimu Yasuna, and immediately falls for her.

Soon after, the two of them get to know each other and become friends, but he can't confess his feelings and she is unsure of hers. As events and other people present obstacles for the potential couple to clear, their relationship kicks off to develop and their feelings become clear.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Ajimu Yasuna (Saeko Chiba) and Nakaido Hirosuke (Akira Ishida) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 4 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
