H2O: Footprints in the Sand

Takuma Hirose, a blind junior-high school student, moves from the city to a rural area to live with his uncle to help relieve him of his blindness.

Takuma is shown around town by Hinata and two of her friends.

After the events of the previous night, Hinata comes to meet Takuma so they can walk to school together, but on the way they run into Hayami who had been waiting for Takuma.

Takuma, Hinata, Yui, Hamaji, and Maki head to the beach for a relaxing time, but before long Hamaji's younger sister Yukiji shows up and tries to take Hamaji back home.

After the events of the beach trip, Hayami starts to ignore Takuma at school, and Hinata continuously presses Takuma to come along with her.

Hinata continues to hang out with Hayami and still wants to be friends with her, but the other members of the class are a bit uneasy about the whole situation since Hinata complicates things with her being a member of the Kagura family.

It is revealed that Hinata's real name is in fact Hotaru and after her older sister Hinata died many years ago, the Kagura family decided to tell the village that Hotaru had actually died, thus Hotaru took Hinata's place.

Otoha uses her spiritual powers to have Takuma experience a parallel universe in which everyone is the same except they act differently.

The summer festival in town is coming up and the villagers are starting to bring out decorations covered in bells, which causes Takuma to reminisce about his late-mother's bell.

After Takuma and Hayami become a couple, Takuma starts getting hounded by his friends at school for the details for the summer festival.

Hayami manages to escape the beating with Yui's interference, and meets Takuma, who went searching for her.

Takuma redirected the gun, calling Hayami his mom, and is able to save Hayami.
