Kip. 9: The Bamboo Lantern in my Heart

9

As the town prepares for the bamboo festival, Fuu meets a man named Nozomu Natsume, who was one of her father's classmates. Upon hearing Nozomu give some harsh critique on Fuu's photos, Kanae can't help but express her love for Fuu's photos. Later that day, Fuu and Kanae run into Riho, who gives them advice on how the technical skills of photography shouldn't affect what's most important to the photographer. After encountering Nozomu again at the okonomiyaki shop, the girls take him to see the bamboo lanterns, where he talks about how Fuu's father always put showing love in photographs over any technical prowess. Before he leaves, Nozomu asks Fuu to take a picture of him. (Source: Wikipedia)
