High school student Kazuya Maeda finds his daily life dull and meaningless. This changes right before the end of his summer break when he receives an old camera from his father. Initially hesitant, Kazuya decides to experiment with photography and starts looking for potential models for his pictures. Kazuya is approached by various girls willing to model for him: Haruka Niimi, his popular childhood friend; Nonoka Masaki, the athletic ace pitcher of the softball club; Aki Muroto, the Student Council president; Hikari Sanehara, a fellow photography enthusiast; Tomoe Misumi, his timid classmate; Rina Yunoki, the only member of the Cooking Research Society; and Mai Sakura, a friend of his sister. As he pursues his new hobby, Kazuya feels like every day becomes more vibrant and meaningful.

kirandande123★★★★★EP 13The finale feels surprisingly reflective compared to the earlier playful episodes. The beach scenes, old promises, photo memories, and Kanon’s emotional confession give the series a bittersweet ending that stays with you afterward.
kirandande123★★★★☆EP 12This episode quietly becomes one of the most emotional in the series. The rain shelter conversation, cupcake scenes, and the final photo album farewell all work together to create a gentle but memorable goodbye atmosphere.
kirandande123★★★★☆EP 11Rina’s cooking club storyline gives this episode a very warm and comforting vibe. The sunflower burger idea, fun park outing, and school festival café scenes make it feel lighthearted while still giving Rina meaningful development.
kirandande123★★★★☆EP 10Mai’s playful blackmail routine somehow turns into one of the sweeter arcs in the series. The food-tasting scenes, training support, and hidden love letter create a surprisingly wholesome chemistry between her and Kazuya.
kirandande123★★★★☆EP 9Nonoka absolutely steals the spotlight here. Her rooftop challenge, baseball practice scenes, and awkward jealousy moments make the romance feel energetic and genuine, while the beach photo session adds some fun chaos to the mix.
kirandande123★★★★☆EP 8Aki’s episode mixes humor and vulnerability really well. Seeing the strict student council president skip class for an arcade date and open up about her struggles adds a lot more depth to her character than earlier episodes suggested.
kirandande123★★★★☆EP 7Hikari’s arc is handled with a softer and more mature tone than expected. The amusement park date and glowing flowers under the stars give the episode a calm emotional beauty while slowly breaking down her guarded personality.
kirandande123★★★★☆EP 6The playground callback and school festival moments make this episode feel rewarding after the earlier buildup. The photo exhibition scene especially stands out because it mixes embarrassment, affection, and nostalgia really naturally.
kirandande123★★★★☆EP 5A strong emotional episode that finally pushes Haruka and Kazuya’s relationship forward. The rain scenes, old childhood memories, and the search for Haruka create a surprisingly heartfelt atmosphere without becoming overly dramatic.
kirandande123★★★★☆EP 4This one slows things down nicely and focuses more on Kazuya’s growing bonds with everyone. The cosplay event, hidden magazines, and that familiar mole detail quietly build tension while keeping the slice-of-life charm intact.
kirandande123★★★★☆EP 3Probably the most chaotic episode so far, but in a fun way. Between the accidental kiss on the stairs, swimsuit photography trouble, and Kazuya trying to protect Haruka’s dignity, the comedy lands almost every time.
kirandande123★★★★☆EP 2This episode balances comedy and character chemistry surprisingly well. Haruka’s photo moments, Aki climbing the wall, and the “Miss Photogenic” setup make the school atmosphere feel lively without losing the calm vibe of the series.
kirandande123★★★★☆EP 1A really cozy start that captures the excitement of school life and photography perfectly. Kazuya getting his first camera, the classroom moments, and that quiet scene with Tomoe at Haruka’s desk already give the series a soft emotional pull.
mazel★★★★★EP 2The second episode is also good. A lot of things happened to the MC and things seem to be going very well for him. The animation is still as smooth as before, and there is a lot of information about the club the MC is in. Hope that things continue to work out well until the very end.
mazel★★★★☆EP 13Hmmm, well, this anime has a different route with every girl that Maeda met or knew, so I guess it is also a good last episode if you exclude the reality of it. This anime is always on the wholesome side and doesn't have any bad endings, which is also good if you don't want something too hard to watch. Even this last episode, where Kazuya and Kanon had great moments together, was also good.
mazel★★★★★EP 12What a great episode. Misumi’s character development here is great. From being lonely to having a lot of friends, her growth was really nice to see. This is by far the most wholesome episode for me.
mazel★★★★★EP 11Another wholesome episode again. Glad that there are no big problems and the flow is smooth. The pacing is also quite good for every route. The way Yunoki cooks the dishes makes you want to eat them too 🤣.
mazel★★★★☆EP 10What a wholesome and comedic episode. This route is related to Sakura Mai and shows how the MC and her got to know each other better. It’s kinda funny how the MC is both unlucky and lucky here 🤣. This episode also has a lot of emotions that others can relate to, especially when it comes to dealing with failures and learning how to overcome them.
mazel★★★★☆EP 9This different route thing has a different feel to it. Right now, I want to watch all the other girls and see how happy they are, and I also want to see the wholesome side of this anime. This episode, where you see Nonoka being happy while training with Maeda, was also good to watch. The episode isn’t boring at all once you understand what kind of anime it is.
mazel★★★★☆EP 8Ohhh, it was kinda confusing at first, but now I get why it feels different after Episode 6. It’s an anime with different routes. The way he dates other girls instead of sticking with Haruka confused me, but now I totally get it. It feels good again after realizing that. The way it proceeds to the others after the introduction is also good. Muroto showing her pure happiness in this episode is also wholesome, and now I understand why she was late and had to enter through the back side of the school, lol 🤣.
