Hiyori is an introverted girl who likes to fish at the seashore alone. One day while doing that a strange girl appears who seems to think it's a good idea to go swimming in March. This very energetic and outgoing girl, Koharu, has just moved to this seashore town from an inland province. Kiyori finds her 'strange', 'unique', but also likable--which is fortunate, considering the surprise that awaits her. Suffice to say she'll be seeing a good deal more of Koharu.

(Two episodes watched):

It isn't hard to guess where things are going once Kiyori tells Koharu that her mother is getting remarried to a strange man with a daughter. Nothing really tantalizing here. We learn a bit about how fly fishing works and what differentiates it from other forms of fishing. And how to make fresh sashimi from a newly caught Rockfish. And other things. I found the info to be more rewarding than the humor, which was pretty weak. If I suddenly learned that I was going to have a new sibling who was as boisterous and noisy as Koharu, I'd be in trouble. She's kind of air-headed and can be annoying (I sympathize much more with the introverted Hiyori). What with the fishing motif, I can't help comparing this show to Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater, which made me laugh a good deal more. And I don't really care about cooking, which takes up a fair amount of the time in this show. There's nothing really wrong with this show, except that it needed to be funnier. After watching episode two I concluded that without any good jokes or an interesting plot this show is simply too boring to be worth the time that watching it would demand.
