5 min · Japanese · Animation · Fantasy

An angel who has lost her memory descends onto an island that draws her in, only to find the townspeople cannot see her. A passing boy speaks to her and, strangely, begins to cry. Realising she remembers nothing, he offers to show her his favourite places, and their summer wanderings slowly lead her toward the memories they once shared. A student graduation animation.

Why we picked it

A 2025 Japanese graduation animation: an angel with no memory lands on an island where only one boy can see her, and he starts to cry. Five bittersweet minutes.
