201675 min7.6 / 10

A gentle, playful slice-of-life comedy about two high school friends whose daily riverside conversations—trivial yet meaningful—form the entire substance of their bond.

Utsumi and Seto's daily routine is to spend their afterschool hours just jabbering with one another along a riverbed. Getting excited over trivial word play, agonizing over the content of an email to be sent to a girl, and, at times, talking about a serious problem, the two endlessly engage in meaningless idle talk as if it were meaningful.
