Tsuki ga kirei

- Season 1

(2017)

Kotaro and Akane bump into each other while at dinner with their families. Their parents make it as awkward as possible.

It's the last sports festival of middle school. Kotaro gets put in the relay race. He becomes friends with one of Akane's friends who bandages his scraped hand.

With the school trip looming, the third-years are abuzz with dating gossip. Meanwhile, Kotaro is busy with his writing, and Akane is working on her running performance.

Things get awkward between Kotaro and Akane after he asks her out. He tries to find some time alone with her on the school trip, but sneaking his cell phone past the teachers proves to be a challenge.

Akane and Kotaro want to spend more time together at school, but they can never seem to find the time or space. Chinatsu, meanwhile, seems to have no trouble finding ways to hang out with him.

Akane's big track meet is coming up, but she's flustered by Chise's confession to her that she has a crush on Kotaro.

Chinatsu invites Akane, Kotaro and Hira to Tokyo Dome City amusement park. She makes a last-ditch effort.

Word gets around that Kotaro and Akane are in a relationship.

Despite the stressful changes that come with the transition from middle school to high school, Kotaro and Akane have each other to lean on -- for now.

With the news that Akane is moving to Yokohama, Kotaro has to make some difficult decisions.

Kotaro is determined to get into Komei High School, where Akane is set to attend. But with his grades and his parents' opposition, he will be fighting an uphill battle.

School is almost out. Both Akane and Kotaro's rivals make their intentions clear. Akane is moving to Yokohama, and Kotaro is staying in Saitama.
