About H2O: Footprints in the Sand

Here is what H2O: Footprints in the Sand (H2O ~FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND~) is about, retold in plain terms: a romance anime by ZEXCS (2008). What the story covers: Takuma Hirose is a blind young male high school pupil, though the cause for his blindness is undetermined. In order to heal his medical condition, he is sent to live in a village with his uncle.

Soon after, there, he meets several girls, three of which stand out more than any of the others. They are Hayami Kohinata, Hinata Kangura, and Otoha. Otoha temporarily heals his blindness and Hirose uses his sight to help others.

In a romance series like this, slow-burn chemistry and believable dialogue are what keep it engaging. Voice work is led by Harumi Sakurai as Hayami Kohinata and Ryouko Tanaka as Hinata Kagura. It will appeal most to viewers who enjoy relationship-driven stories. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
