Hanasaku Iroha ~Blossoms for Tomorrow~

In the days before the Bonbori Festival, Ohana's friend Yuina comes to Kissuiso for training. While cleaning up after her, Ohana discovers a logbook kept by Beans from when her mother, Satsuki, was still a youth at Kissuisso. Through the logbook, Ohana catches a glimpse of her mother's struggles, and realizes that maybe the two of them aren't so different after all. Meanwhile, the rest of the inn staff are caught up in dealing with a blackout.

A slice of life of high school girls in the early summer. Shiozaki Haruno is a 17-year-old girl who loves her motor cycle, HONDA's Giorno. She lives in remote highlands and longs for a vivid life in a city. Encounters with people staying at Haruno's parents' boardinghouse encourage her to step forward to her dream.

The "story of laughter and tears" centers around "Okko," a sixth-grade elementary school girl who lost her parents in a traffic accident. She moves to her grandmother's hot spring inn "Haru no Ya" (Spring House) and trains to run the inn. She gradually grows up with the help of the ghost "Uri-bou" and other mysterious friends.

Fumi and Akira were close childhood friends until Fumi had to move away. Ten years after losing touch with each other, the two girls meet again as high school freshmen. The two struggle to reconnect after so much has changed, and both deal with the trials and tribulations of high school — sometimes independently and sometimes with each other’s help.
