OVA
Description
Yuzuki Eba, born August 3 in Tokyo and standing 155 cm tall with blood type AB, felt estranged within her Tokyo stepfamily. This sense of being an outsider prompted her relocation during high school to her father's rural hometown in Hiroshima Prefecture. She resided with the Kirishima family due to her father's acquaintance with Haruto Kirishima's father.
Sociable and outgoing, Yuzuki often displayed naivete leading to comical misunderstandings or serious mishandling of situations. Despite strong academics, her practical judgment faltered, frequently requiring intervention. Beneath her cheerful exterior lay emotional vulnerability, particularly concerning familial acceptance and romance.
A foundational childhood encounter in Hiroshima shaped her connection to Haruto Kirishima. Lost and distressed at a summer festival, young Yuzuki was comforted by Haruto, instilling deep affection and motivating her return to Hiroshima.
Upon moving in with the Kirishimas, Yuzuki openly expressed romantic feelings for Haruto despite his initial interest in classmate Nanami Kanzaki. Paradoxically, she assisted his pursuit of Nanami while consistently relying on his dependable nature during her own difficulties. Her presence altered group dynamics, especially between Haruto and Nanami. After resolving family tensions, Yuzuki returned to Tokyo, prompting Haruto to confess his reciprocated feelings and initiate a long-distance relationship.
This relationship fractured when Yuzuki abruptly ceased contact and began dating Kyousuke Kazama, Haruto's terminally ill friend. Her decision stemmed from Kazama's middle school confession and his subsequent revelation of limited lifespan upon her Tokyo return. Feeling obligated, she prioritized accompanying Kazama in his final year. Following Kazama's surgery-related death, guilt compelled Yuzuki to sever ties with Haruto, believing their connection caused misfortune.
Reuniting two years later, lingering feelings resurfaced during accidental encounters. Yuzuki reaffirmed her love for Haruto, leading them to restart their relationship despite opposition from friends angered by Haruto's concurrent breakup with Asuka Mishima. When her father discovered their relationship and attempted forced separation due to disapproval and personal jealousy, Yuzuki defied him by fleeing home to cohabitate with Haruto in Tokyo.
Their cohabitation involved humorous misunderstandings with neighbor Miyu Hoshina, a man-fearing college classmate. Yuzuki supported Haruto through career uncertainty while pursuing her own teaching ambition. Post-graduation, another long-distance separation occurred due to Haruto's job assignment in Kochi. Yuzuki remained in Tokyo for her teaching career, but physical strain maintaining the relationship led to a temporary breakup when Haruto, unwilling to burden her career, abandoned a marriage proposal.
Years later, after Haruto's career success enabled a Tokyo transfer, the couple reunited beneath cherry blossoms at Toyama Park, fulfilling a prior promise. They married, had a son named Daiki, and initially operated Kirishima Restaurant in Tokyo. The family eventually returned to Haruto's Hiroshima hometown, with plans for a second child mentioned later.
