Nobody's heard of this one. A single episode that treats a real city festival like it matters, written by someone who actually grew up there, so the specificity of place isn't backdrop, it's the whole point. The romance unfolds through festival prep, which means you're watching two people fall into each other while building something that belongs to their community, not just themselves. That's a different kind of love story than anime usually bothers to tell.

A short romance set in Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture, as the town gets ready for the Ogaki Festival, which takes place in May. The love story unfolds during those preparations. The one-episode web anime was made to promote tourism in Ogaki, and its script comes from Kou Nakamura, a well-known novelist who is from the city.
