I wasn't sure what to expect from this story that has roots in Manga and is it's own tale of love and loss and sacrafice.
Chun lives in a world that's where they have power over things that affect the human world, when someone of this world turns sixtwwn they visit our world as a dolphin to understand what it is they are protecting. Chun goes and is rescued from a vortex by a human boy who loses his life. She feels that she must return his life in payment. His soul is a small fish that she nurtured until it's the time to return to the human world.
It's an interesting and involving story that did make me a little weepy and a little annoyed at something someone does that's spoilery. It's a lovely story and well worth watching. Gentle and show more involving. show less
