TONIKAWA follows the story of Yuzaki Nasa, who one day on his way home gets starstruck by this beautiful girl across the street. Bewitched, Nasa tries to approach her but only to get blindsided by an oncoming truck.
Thankfully, Nasa doesn’t die and get reincarnated into a different fantasy world but instead, the girl from across the street ends up saving him.

Bleeding by the side of an ambulance, he watches as the girl walks away under the moonlight—reminiscent of Princess Kaguya leaving for the moon. Refusing to let this chance meeting end, he forces his crippled body to chase after her and asks her out. Surprised by his foolhardiness and pure resolve, the girl accepts his confession under a single condition: they can only be together if he marries her!

TONIKAWA: Over the Moon for You (Tonikaku Kawaii) is streaming on Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll has also produced an English Dub of the anime.
