Her Blue Sky in a Nutshell
After an accident leaves them orphaned, Akane Aioi raises her younger sister Aoi for more than a decade. To lighten Akane’s burden, Aoi chooses to move to Tokyo after graduating to pursue a musical career. A career choice that was inspired by her sister’s former boyfriend, Shinnosuke ‘Shinno’ Kanamuro, who vanished after the tragic loss of their parents.
When Aoi makes it to Tokyo, to her surprise, she meets the Shinnosuke from over a decade ago, but that’s not all; his current 31-year-old self is also present! Her Blue Sky centers around this dilemma and how it will affect the lives of the show’s characters going forward.
