SYNOPSIS
Matsuoka Akī is 21 years old, and she still doesn't know her dreams for the future. She feels that she's always searching for something, and that she's anticipating for something to happen for the longest time.

Nagata Taku is Akī's childhood friend who is secretly in love with her. By following Akī around, Taku has managed to get into college and to graduate with a humanities degree even though most people thought it was an impossible goal for him in the first place.

Akī and Taku agreed to take pictures for a group of science majors at her university that they can use for a free children's workbook that they are making to encourage kids to pursue research. They met Kondo Shunji, Iino Sosuke, Serizawa Ryo, Niwa Reiko, Saeki Yumehana, and Yamauchi Kōta.



REVIEW
Eien no Bokura Sea Side Blue is an interesting drama about the youth who have to work towards their future even though they have no idea what careers they want to pursue or even how to become adults.

It's very difficult to root for Matsuoka Akī because she has the most common problem that everyone encounters at that point in their lives whatever their situation. Of course Akī's concerns shouldn't be belittled but she has a supportive family who has connections and financial stability to help her achieve her dreams whatever they may be.
