Production Staff & Creative Vision
Behind the camera, the series is guided by director Tomoe Makino, working from scripts and series composition handled by Shogo Yasukawa. Character designs are crafted by Ayumi Nishibata, while the instrumental atmosphere is composed by jizue. Together, this talented crew aims to faithfully translate the gentle rhythm and emotional resonance of Kuzushiro’s source material onto the screen.
It’s a metaphor for the things you can’t see. Like the moon, hidden behind the rain clouds.
The Moon on a Rainy Night
The narrative follows Saki Kindaichi, who encounters the striking Kanon Oikawa just before starting high school. After discovering they are classmates, Saki learns that Kanon is hard of hearing and often isolated by her peers. Compelled to reach out against the cold indifference of their school environment, Saki sparks an unfolding connection that gradually reshapes both of their worlds.
