Proceeds from the YouTube views will be donated to aid the reconstruction efforts in Noto Peninsula, with contributions planned for June and December 2026. The anime project aims to give back to the community that inspired the company's first production, "Hanasaku Iroha."

The story follows high school student Yuuki Wakura, voiced by Reina Ueda, who returns to her hometown of Wajima only to find it changed by the earthquake. Despite the visible scars of the disaster, the residents remain resilient. The second part features Tsugumi Kashima, voiced by Marika Kouno, visiting Yuuki during a festival in Nanao, highlighting the ongoing recovery.
