Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night
Synopsis
The story
"I want to find what I enjoy." Shibuya is a city full of identity. It is here on Shibuya’s late night streets that illustrator Mahiru Kozuki, former idol Kano Yamanouchi, Vtuber Kiui Watase and composer Mei Kim Anouk Takanashi — four young women who are slightly outside the world — join together and form an anonymous artist group called JELEE. “I” also want to shine like someone else. If it's not me but “we” then we might be able to shine.

A strong character drama with a packed plot that hinges on a connection with its characters to sell its intense scenes
@Scheveningen18/24 helpful
A bit overcooked - sometimes, all you need is simplicity.
@Mcsuper89/110 helpful
Stylish, expressive, and deeply frustrating, the girls-do-music original escapes a simple, straightforward summation.
@planetJane46/73 helpful
An enjoyable melodrama that suffers from pacing issues
