Tsukigakirei is an original TV anime produced by feel., crafted as a heartfelt blend of romance, drama, and slice-of-life storytelling. Directed by Seiji Kishi with series composition by Yuko Kakihara, the series follows Kotarou Azumi and Akane Mizuno—two middle school students navigating the tender, uncertain emotions of first love. With authentic portrayals of adolescent life and quietly powerful emotional moments, Tsukigakirei captures the beauty of fleeting youth in a way rarely seen in romance anime. Based on an original concept by Tsukigakirei Project, this is a must-watch for anyone who has ever felt their heart race under the moonlight.

Set against the charming backdrop of Kawagoe, this story follows the tender feelings that bloom during the final year of middle school. Kotarou Azumi is a quiet, literature-loving boy with dreams of one day becoming a novelist, while Akane Mizuno is a spirited girl who pours her passion into track and field. When the two end up in the same class for the first time in their third year, a shared responsibility at the school sports festival becomes the unexpected spark that brings them together—exchanging messages and gradually opening up to one another. Yet the heart rarely travels a straight path: Hira Takumi has quietly carried feelings for Akane Mizuno since their first year, and Chinatsu Nishio, a close friend of Akane's, finds herself drawn to Kotarou as well. With four young hearts navigating the uncertain terrain of first love, this is a warm and gentle coming-of-age tale set in the streets of Kawagoe.
