Hotaru was a little girl who got lost in an enchanted forest, where Yokai (supernatural monsters) resided. a boy named Gin appeared before her with a mask on. he had her promised never to touch him, for a human touch will make him disappear. having agreed to Gin's condition, Hotaru was led out of the forest safely. due to curiosity, Hotaru returned everyday, for every summer holiday that she spent at her grandparents' house, and the duo became great friends.
being a huge fan of the Natsume Yuujinchou series (2008-2012), i enjoyed every minute of Hotarubi no Mori e (2011). it was equally gentle and heartwarming, easily led me through the story until the very end. despite the smooth and simple storyline, there were in depth emotions for both the character. the slight touch of romance was enough to send tears into my eyes as the story progressed. to be honest, the story itself wasn't as unique nor exceptional, yet the emotions drew out its beauty, making it breathtaking and truly worthwhile to watch.
