The Moon on a Rainy Night teaser art RELATED: The Moon on a Rainy Night Gets TV Anime Adaptation Tomoe Makino directs the TV anime adaptation at animation studio CompTown, with series composition and scripts by Shogo Yasukawa and character designs by Ayumi Nishibata. Kodansha serializes the original The Moon on a Rainy Night manga by Kuzushiro in their Comic Days seinen manga magazine. Kodansha USA also publishes an English language version of the series. The story is described as follows: The Moon on a Rainy Night "It’s a metaphor for the things you can’t see. Like the moon, hidden behind the rain clouds." Just before starting high school, Saki Kindaichi encounters a striking girl with long, flowing hair—Kanon Oikawa—on her way to a piano lesson. To her surprise, they meet again at the entrance ceremony, now as classmates. Kanon is hard of hearing and tends to keep her distance from others. Saki, unsettled by how some classmates and teachers treat Kanon, feels compelled to reach out. Moved by Saki’s quiet determination, Kanon begins to let down her guard… and little by little, her world starts to change. A gentle, everyday rhythm brings their hearts closer, one step at a time. This is a story of two girls—of unseen struggles, unspoken bonds, and a love that quietly takes root.
