Since long ago, human civilization had lived on the ocean floor. However, there were many humans who wanted to live above the surface and they moved to land creating a fundamental separation between the two. After their school closes down, four 14-year-old middle school students from the sea village, Shioshishio, have to attend Mihama Middle School on the surface. What follows is their struggles to adjust to a new environment and the relationships between the sea and land people, while dealing with their own newfound feelings that have just started appearing with the end of their childhood.

Where it came from
A Lull in the Sea, known in Japan as Nagi no Asukara, was produced by P.A.Works and directed by Toshiya Shinohara. The series was developed as an original anime project, airing from 2013 to 2014, and is noted for its ambitious visual exploration of a world divided between inhabitants of the sea and the land. The production focused heavily on atmospheric world-building, utilizing detailed watercolor-inspired backgrounds to emphasize the contrast between the two realms.
The character designs were conceptualized by Buriki, a light novel illustrator known for a distinctively delicate and emotive aesthetic. The visual approach sought to capture the complexities of adolescence and long-standing societal tensions through a soft, ethereal lens. Upon its release, the series received significant praise from critics for its high production values and emotional resonance, often cited as a standout example of P.A.Works' commitment to intricate, character-driven storytelling.
