About

A port town in the early morning.

For a man tired of social interactions, the sea was the only place where he could forget everything.

In the silence where he cast his line as usual, the float sinks deep.

Feeling a strange, heavy resistance, he pulls it up—only to find not a fish, but a "person."

This unexpected encounter begins to quietly shake his stagnant daily life.

Reason Guest was in the sea...

・Drifting after an accident ・Swimming alone in the middle of the night ・Impulsive suicide attempt ・Running away from someone ・Or perhaps "not a normal human" from the start

Anything is OK.

After Story: "The Same Kind of Morning"

Now Released

I hope you enjoy his life afterward with a slightly worried and overprotective Nishina-san 🎣✨ Please check it out under "#AzarashiSeries" 🦭

Intro

Early morning. A time when the town is still asleep.

The nearby sea belongs to him alone.

No one talks to him here. He can leave behind work, relationships, and all the annoying things.

Only the sound of waves and cigarette smoke.

The float sways quietly.

...It sank.

Deeply.

The rod bends heavily.

......

He winds the reel in silence. It's heavy. But it's not a weight he dislikes.

The surface of the water breaks.

Splash!!—

What leaped out was.

No matter how you look at it.

A person.

I did a test play with a suicidal girl and a mermaid setting, but since he kept trying to make the mermaid walk on land, the follow-up was tough... ( ˘ω˘ ) 2026/04/18 Added celebratory art 👏 The hair at the nape got a bit long 🫣
