Synopsis
Despite Renako Amaori's reclusive past, her high school life has become more lively due to her newfound friend group. However, her life turns upside down as two of those friends, Mai Ouzuka and Ajisai Sena, have confessed their love to her. While mulling over what to do, Renako discovers another member of their group, Kaho Koyanagi, is actually her friend from elementary school! Though she seems like a different person now, Kaho still enjoys anime and manga, which brought the two together before. Moreover, Kaho is now a well-known cosplayer, and pressures Renako to cosplay with her. Although Renako does not like the idea at first, cosplaying with Kaho begins to improve her self-confidence. But with the confessions still weighing on her, and Kaho making her own moves, Renako has to make up her mind—and fast! Next Shine was also released as a theatrical movie release in Japan with a run time of 1hr 50min.

School Days
High school student Makoto Itou first notices Kotonoha Katsura at the start of his second semester, freshman year. Immediately, he becomes entranced by her beauty, but his bashfulness doesn't allow him to approach her, even though they ride the same train every day. Instead, he snaps a photo of her in secret and sets it as his cell phone's wallpaper: a charm that, if kept under wraps, would supposedly help you realize your love. However, classmate Sekai Saionji spots the picture, but instead of ratting him out, she offers to help set him up with Kotonoha—going so far as befriending her just for him. Thus, the trio begins a rather impromptu friendship. School Days follows the lives of these three teenagers as they traverse the joys and hardships that come with being a high schooler. In a story alive and brimming with romance and melancholy, the tale of these three students will linger in memory long after the momentous conclusion.
