The anime stars Makoto Ishii, Nazuka Kaori, and Ayahi Takagaki. The story revolves around a high school student named Shinichiro Nakagami, who is an aspiring artist. He lives with his parents and his childhood friend and crush Hiromi Yuasa, who is the daughter of his father's friend. Shinichiro has harbored feelings for Hiromi for a long time but has kept them to himself. One day, his classmate Noe Isurugi approaches him and asks him to help her catch a chicken, and Shinichiro ends up getting entangled in her life. Much to his surprise, he ends up finding himself drawn to Noe as well.

The show explores themes of unrequited love, sacrifice, and the importance of following one's dreams.

Shinichiro is the protagonist of the show, and his character is well-developed throughout the series. He is kind-hearted and cares deeply about his friends and family.

Noe is an enigmatic character who is often seen wearing an eyepatch, and her personality is both quirky and mysterious. She has her own unique ways of approaching life, and her interactions with Shinichiro are often unpredictable.

Hiromi's character is also well fleshed out, and her struggles are explored throughout the series. She lives with Shinichiro and his family, but her relationship with them is complex. Her mother passed away, and she feels responsible for her death. She is initially cold towards Shinichiro, but as the series progresses, their relationship develops.

The animation of the series is well done, and the characters' designs are appealing. The backgrounds are detailed and add depth to the scenes. The use of colors is also notable, as they change depending on the mood of the scene. The music is also well done and adds to the atmosphere of the series.
