The Garden Of Words (Anime Ltd., 12) "When Takao, a young high school
student who dreams of becoming a shoe designer, decides to skip school one day
in favour of sketching in a rainy garden, he has no idea how much his life
will change when he encounters Yukino. Older, but perhaps not as much wiser,
she seems adrift in the world. Despite the difference in their ages, they
strike up an unusual relationship that unexpectedly continues and evolves,
without planning, with random meetings that always occur in the same garden on
each rainy day. But the rainy season is coming to a close, and there are so
many things still left unsaid and undone between them."

Non Non Biyori: Nonstop - Complete Collection (MVM Entertainment, PG)
"Asahigaoka is just about as small as a town can be, and living in a small
village means approaching life a little differently. After moving from the
biggest of big cities, Tokyo, Hotaru has fully adjusted to that lifestyle, and
she's learned to find and appreciate pleasures that she would never have
noticed before. Like the beauty of nature even in the smallest things. Or the
reliability of knowing everyone who works at the same stores that have been
there forever. The new faces in town… WAIT! WHAT? NEW FACES??? Yes,
shockingly, it's true! But in the end, one thing remains most important: the
fact that everything is still better when you experience it with friends you
love and trust. Join Hotaru, Komari, Natsumi, Renge, and Suguru once more as
they live life to the fullest in NON NON BIYORI NONSTOP!"
