The synopsis of The Moon on a Rainy Night described as:
The Moon on a Rainy Night “It’s a metaphor for the things you can’t see. Like the moon, hidden behind the rain clouds.”
Just before starting high school, Saki Kindaichi encounters a striking girl with long, flowing hair — Kanon Oikawa — on her way to a piano lesson.
To her surprise, they meet again at the entrance ceremony, now as classmates. Kanon is hard of hearing and tends to keep her distance from others. Saki, unsettled by how some classmates and teachers treat Kanon, feels compelled to reach out. Moved by Saki’s quiet determination, Kanon begins to let down her guard… and little by little, her world starts to change.
A gentle, everyday rhythm brings their hearts closer, one step at a time.
This is a story of two girls — of unseen struggles, unspoken bonds, and a love that quietly takes root.
