How it feels

Each set of four episodes shows a different version of events where high school student Shoichi Kamita ends up dating a different girl. The series takes place in the same school as the earlier show Amagami but nine years later. It is a romantic comedy with multiple possible love stories.

What happens

Seiren (Japanese: セイレン; from the kanji 清廉 "honesty") is an original Japanese romantic comedy anime television series directed by Tomoki Kobayashi at Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ. It aired on TBS between January 5 and March 23, 2017. The series is structured like an anthology series, with every four episodes taking place in an individualized continuity in which protagonist Shōichi Kamita ends up with a different girl, yet featuring all of the same characters. Seiren is a sequel to the similarly-structured Amagami adaptation, set in the same high school, albeit 9 years later. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
