Photo Kano

Synopsis

High school student Kazuya Maeda's life is given a new sense of purpose just before summer break ends when his father hands him an old camera. Though hesitant at first, Kazuya picks up photography and starts searching for girls willing to pose for him. He finds several who agree: Haruka Niimi, his childhood friend who is well-liked; Nonoka Masaki, the star pitcher of the softball team; Aki Muroto, the student council president; Hikari Sanehara, another photography enthusiast; Tomoe Misumi, his shy classmate; Rina Yunoki, the sole member of the Cooking Research Society; and Mai Sakura, a friend of his sister. Through this new interest, Kazuya finds each day growing brighter and more meaningful. Yet the deepening ties he forms with these girls lead him to wonder whether they view him as merely the person behind the lens or something more.
