Ocean Waves takes a nostalgic look at the complexities of friendship and young love. Taku (Tobita) and his best friend Yutaka (Seki) are headed back to school for what looks like another uneventful year. But they soon find their friendship tested by the arrival of Rikako (Sakamoto), a beautiful new transfer student from Tokyo, whose attitude shifts wildly from flirty and flippant to melancholic. When Taku joins Rikako on a trip to Tokyo, the school erupts with rumors, and the three friends are forced to come to terms with their changing relationships. Never before released in North America. An animated adaptation of Saeko Himuro's novel. (Gary Reber)
