Description
[Machine Translation] A hymn of love and hope that springs up at the end of the Kuroshio Current! A maiden of pure love who gives the breath of love to the children of an isolated island of the underprivileged! Aogashima is the southernmost inhabited island in the Izu Islands. Setsuko is from this island and overcame hardships in school to be hired as a teacher at Hiyoshizaka Elementary School in Tokyo. With her brightness and affection, she becomes well-liked by her students. That summer, Setsuko returned to Aogashima for the first time in several years during her summer vacation, partly due to the marriage of her younger sister, Yoshiko. When she visits the elementary school in her hometown, she learns that a teacher transferred from Tokyo has resigned because he could not endure the harsh island lifestyle and customs. Seeing Yasunari, who was not born on the island, always teaching cheerfully, and seeing the children bound by unchanging old customs, Setsuko decides to become a teacher on the island, overcoming the opposition of her parents. Setsuko interacts with Hiyoshizaka Elementary School through essays written by the island's children. While the environment is rich in nature, it is also harsh. The troubles are alcohol, fights, and god forbid, and even more so, a village without a doctor. However, the children of the island love the island where they were born and raised. The students of Hiyoshizaka learn about various realities. That autumn, the sea becomes rough and the regular boats stop a month earlier than usual. Food and medicine run out, and the school arts festival that the island's children had been looking forward to is canceled. Life on the island becomes even harsher. Setsuko feels frustrated by her own powerlessness. The children of Hiyoshizaka learn of the serious situation on the island and begin to try to save their friends.
