H20 Footprints in the Sand
S01E04: Hamaji
Takuma, Hinata, Yui, Hamaji, and Maki go to the beach together to have fun, but before long Hamaji's younger sister Yukiji shows up and tries to take Hamaji back home. In the end, Takuma and the others agree to let her stay, though for a while Yukiji attempts to hurt (even kill) Takuma or otherwise separate him from the others due to her love for Hamaji. When Yukiji is confronted by the others about Takuma, she runs away and swims in the sea, but when her leg cramps, it is Takuma who attempts to save her, though he nearly drowns himself. Hamaji has to use CPR to revive Takuma, (strangely in slow motion) and Yukiji thanks Takuma for saving her while he was florid with Hamaji's CPR. While taking a bath, Takuma finally realizes that Hamaji is actually male. Hayami comes to the beach to ask Takuma about his true feelings, but they get interrupted by Hinata.
Overview
H2O's story revolves around Takuma Hirose, a blind young male junior-high school student, though the cause for his blindness is undetermined. After his mother died unexpectedly, it left a deep emotional scar on him, which caused him to become very lonely and reserved. Due to this, Takuma and his uncle move from the city out into a rural area and Takuma is enrolled into a new junior-high school. At his new school, he meets several new girls, though three of whom he gets to know the most out of anyone else; the firm and obstinate Hayami Kohinata, the kind and obliging Hinata Kagura, and the cheerful and mysterious Otoha. As Takuma interacts with these girls, his medical condition gradually begins to heal and he fully recovers.
