The shoujo anime tells the story of Mizuha, and the delicate, bittersweet balance between friendship and love through her relationships with her four childhood boy friends. 

The anime is based on the manga of the same name by Haruka Mitsui, which has been serialised in Kodansha’s Nakayoshi magazine since 2020, with a total of 10 tankobon volumes released since January 2025. 

The first season of KoiShima aired during the Winter 2024 season this January, with Crunchyroll streaming the series for global fans. Season 2 was announced after the finale of Season 1.

Crunchyroll describes the story as:

It's July 1, 2020. Mizuha, a high school second-year, is having the worst seventeenth birthday ever. She's missing her chance to get close to the older student she admires, and her parents didn't even remember that it's her birthday. Worst of all, there's a new and unknown infectious disease making the rounds, so all her club tournaments and school trips have been canceled.

She's convinced that she'll never have the dazzling youth that she's always dreamed of... but then her childhood friend, Kizuki, suddenly declares himself a candidate to be her boyfriend.

This is a school youth story about four childhood friends who grew up like family, one being the heroine, Nishino Mizuha, and the four boys she grew up with whom she sees as family.
