The production team behind summer anime Toumei na Yoru ni Kakeru Kimi to, Me ni Mienai Koi wo Shita. — affectionately nicknamed Kake Koi by fans — has released the synopsis and advance scene cuts for Episode 1, “Encounter,” set to premiere on Monday, July 6, 2026.
About the Series
The anime is based on the light novel by Shima Nanigashi, published under GA Bunko (SBCreative). The original novel won the grand prize at the 15th GA Bunko Awards and ranked third in the overall new-title category of Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! 2024. Praised for its delicate prose and emotionally resonant story, the work was also adapted into a live-action drama in December 2025, starring Nagase Riko and Fujiwara Daisuke in the lead roles.

- Sorano Kakeru — voiced by Irino Miyu
- Fuyutsuki Koharu — voiced by Hayami Saori

Episode 1 Synopsis: “Encounter”
On a spring evening, shy university student Sorano Kakeru reluctantly attends a freshman welcome party at the urging of his dormitory roommate, Narumi. While hanging back from the lively crowd, he notices an oddly isolated pair of seats — occupied by Fuyutsuki Koharu, a young woman who is blind. It seems everyone drifted away once they learned she couldn’t see.
The assertive Hayase then asks Sorano to help Fuyutsuki in class. Though unenthusiastic, a chance encounter — picking up her fallen white cane — leads the two to share tea together, and from that moment their distance begins to close, little by little. Fuyutsuki, who laughs easily and speaks openly about her dreams, is the polar opposite of the guarded Sorano. When she says she wants to see fireworks, he finds himself looking directly at that light for the very first time. It is the beginning of a tender love story between two people searching, each in their own way, for a light to guide them.
