Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day

- Season 1

(2011)

Jintan is being pestered by a girl named Menma, who only he can see. Menma says she has a wish she wants him to fulfill, but she can't remember what it was. Soon, she recalls that the dream was to have their friends all together again.

Jinta and Poppo think that Menma's manifestation has been caused by an unresolved wish she had. Thinking that she might of wished for a rare Nokemon, Jinta and Poppo join forces with Atsuma to get it.

Jinta tries to return to school but finds it difficult. Poppo decides to reunite the old gang to search for Menma's ghost.

Yukiatsu's claim to have seen another Menma urging the group to stop 'with the fuss', is investigated.

Atsumu blames himself for Menma's death, and Menma has Jinta tell him things that only she and Atsumu know of. Later, Chiriko explains how she caught onto his obsession with Menma. Atsumu recalls ten years ago, when he confessed to Menma shortly after Jinta ran off, only to be rejected. Meanwhile, Jinta wonders why he hasn't been so focused on fulfilling Menma's wish lately. The next day, Naruko goes to a karaoke bar with her friends, when a boy forces her to a love hotel. However she is saved by the arrival of Atsumu. On the train ride home, Atsumu asks Naruko about ...

Poppo suggests that everyone investigate Menma's house for an answer to what her wish could be.

Jintan suspects that Menma's real wish is to send a letter to God for Jintan's mother, and so he works multiple jobs to raise enough money for the fireworks.

Jintan endeavors to grant Menma's wish alone after their group has a falling out. The group are having trouble believing Jintan until Menma's ghost makes a statement.

Menma spends the day with the group, except this time they believe she's there.

Jintan and the gang finish organising the fireworks for Menma to rest in peace.

The fireworks didn't work and Menma is still around. After a while, she feels herself fading. Maybe her wish has already been granted.
