Hanasaku Iroha ~ Itsuka Saku Basho ~

Titled Hanasaku Iroha ~ Itsuka Saku Basho ~ (Hanasaku Iroha ~ A Place to Bloom Someday ~), the story sees Ohana return to Yunosagi from Tokyo seven years after Kissuiso closed, wanting to revive the onsen and restart the family business to become the next Sui Shijima.

The stories are written by Tohru Fujimoto, with illustrations (such as the above!) drawn by Iroha Kohinata, based on the original anime series written by Mari Okada, directed by Masahiro Ando, at P.A. Works, which aired from April 3, 2011, to September 25, 2011, nearly 10 years ago!
