action
The student Jinta Yadomi ( 宿 海 仁 太 , Yadomi Jinta ) has not been attending school for some time and begins to see his childhood friend Meiko Honma ( 本 間 芽 衣 子 , Honma Meiko ), whom he briefly calls Menma . But she died long before and Jintan , as she calls him, is therefore considered crazy by many residents in the neighborhood. Menma is aware that she is already dead, but has retained her childlike intellect and accordingly always reacts quite naively. Meanwhile, Jinta tries to make her stay as pleasant as possible. For example, he doesn't sleep in his own bed that he vacated for her, or cook her favorite food. His father also lives in the house, but he seems to have completely suppressed his son's strange behavior. He is always in a good mood and seems to accept everything unconditionally. However, Jinta really wishes that his father wouldn't just let him go. Nevertheless, he holds back out of consideration, as he knows how difficult it is for his father after the death of Jinta's mother. She passed away from physical weakness some time after Menma.
His childhood friend Naruko Anjō ( 安 城 鳴 子 , Anjō Naruko ) visits Jinta; Although she also finds his behavior very strange, she feels drawn to him nonetheless, which is why she does not give up on him completely even after all these years. Naruko, who is often called Anaru by her friends , tries to get Jinta to go to school again. However, most attempts fail because Jinta simply no longer feels that he belongs and can therefore not gain a foothold. Anaru herself is not very helpful to him at first, as she surrounds herself with friends at school who are superficial, reject Jinta and do not stand by Anaru when she needs help. The friend Atsumu Matsuyuki ( 松 雪 集 , Matsuyuki Atsumu , nickname: Yukiatsu) who was once always in the shadow of Jinta is now attending a higher school and is condescending and dismissive towards him. Chiriko Tsurumi ( 鶴 見 知 利子 , Tsurumi Chiriko , nickname: Tsuruko) also goes to the same school . Since childhood, the rather shy Tsuroko has developed into a very attentive, but also extremely serious and cool personality. So she doesn't stand by Jinta or Yukiatsu and tries to stay out of everything.
A first ray of hope for Jinta is the appearance of Tetsudō Hisakawa ( 久 川 鉄 道 , Hisakawa Tetsudō ), the sixth boyfriend from his childhood. In his childhood Poppo , as he is still called, greatly admired Jinta and saw in him a role model. The once very thin and small boy is now big and strong. However, he does not think very far ahead and makes his way through the world as a traveler and part-time worker. He was abroad for a long time and only rarely came back to Japan, where he stayed in the hut where they often met as children. He is the first to try to reunite the former friends, because he believes Jinta is seeing Menma and that it is her wish that everyone can meet again as before and settle their disputes. So Poppo gets Jinta to visit Anaru at home. While playing some old video games, Anaru can get rid of some of her dislike for Jinta, and Jinta is convinced to go back to school.
One evening Anaru goes to a karaoke party with her friends and leaves them prematurely accompanied by a man. He wanted to take her to a love hotel . With the help of Yukiatsu, she can escape him. When Anaru thanks him, she admits that she has some interest in Jinta, which angered her Savior. The incident did not go unnoticed and rumors spread around the school that Anaru was going to prostitute himself. Jinta, who has just started her first day of school, takes her on and they both have to leave class. Anaru doesn't dare to go home anymore because she fears her parents' reaction. Instead, she decides to move into the old hut near Poppo. There they think about how they could get Yukiatsu and Tsuruko to meet there again. Finally, they host a barbecue evening in the hut, to which Yukiatsu and Tsuruko also appear. During the celebration, Yukiatsu reveals to the others that he too can see Menma. But when he apparently sees someone other than Jinta, the group runs after the figure in the forest. When they find her, it is Yukiatsu himself who disguised himself as Menma. Like Jinta, he was in love with Menma and could not get over her death.
Still wanting to find out how to help Menma, Jinta, Poppo, and Anaru visit their parents. Menma's mother still mourns her daughter and is hostile to Menma's former friends. She is angry because, despite Menma's death, her friends seem to continue to live as before. Still, she gives them Menma's diary. In this, the three of them read about the fact that Menma had been looking forward to the fireworks that they wanted to make themselves as friends. But they never succeeded. So they decide to repeat the experiment so that Menma can go to Heaven. Jinta starts to work hard and earn money for the homemade fireworks. Poppo and Anaru also want to contribute. But the fireworker they asked for had to refuse. Menma's mother had found out about the friends' plans and through her husband prevented them from being helped.
Yukiatsu and Tsuruko are skeptical of the three friends' plan and do not want to help. When he doesn't succeed, Anaru also wants to give up. She doesn't really think Menma is still among them as a ghost. Menma then decides to prove her existence to all friends and invites them to the hut. Here she writes messages to them in her diary, so that ultimately everyone believes in her. With renewed courage and talks with Menma's father and her now adolescent brother, the fireworks man helps them. So the friends, under his guidance and help, build their own fireworks and burn them down. Menma's brother is also there, tired of his mother's constant grief.
But contrary to expectations, Menma does not disappear after the fireworks. The friends are angry or at a loss. A big argument ensues, and eventually everyone confesses to one another's feelings. Poppo wanted Menma to forgive him, because he saw her death as she was carried away by the current. Tsuruko has always been desperate because she is in love with Yukiatsu. But he only thought of Menma and saw - if at all - only Anaru as her "replacement". Jinta was unsure of herself whether Menma should not stay with him, and Yukiatsu was now not only desperate over Menma's death and his unhappy love, but also jealous that her spirit alone shows itself to Jinta. When they have spoken out and reconciled, Menma actually disappears, but first shows herself to her friends and says goodbye to them.
Conception
The story of Ano Hana takes place in the present and makes use of numerous reviews of the past. It is repeatedly pointed out that the characters in the act accuse themselves of being to blame for Menma's death. The city of Chichibu in the west of Saitama Prefecture was chosen as the setting. Numerous replicas of real existing buildings and scenarios can be found in the series.
