A girl who stopped seeing color the moment she stopped believing in magic finds it again through someone else's art. That simple premise dissolves into something quieter: watching Hitomi remember that feeling things and drawing things and loving things are the same act. P.A. Works animates every frame like it matters, and the soundtrack builds emotional weight that the plot itself doesn't always earn, but you won't notice because you're too busy feeling it.
Hitomi Tsukishiro comes from a family of witches, but she has lost the ability to see color, and with it her sense of magic. Nothing has helped her get it back until her grandmother Kohaku, a powerful mage, casts a spell that sends her back in time to 2018, when Kohaku was still in high school. There, Hitomi meets her grandmother as a teenager and spends time with her and her club friends. She also comes across the drawings of a quiet artist named Yuito Aoi, and when she looks at them, color returns to her world. As Hitomi tries to understand why his work affects her this way and what her grandmother sent her back to do, her feelings for Yuito grow. What begins as a mystery becomes something personal, a gentle supernatural romance about a girl slowly finding her way back to color, magic and herself.
