IRODUKU: The World in Colors

## IRODUKU: The World in Colors *IRODUKU: The World in Colors* (*Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara*) is a quietly beautiful P.A.Works original — a meditation on grief, loneliness, and the gradual recovery of feeling, dressed in the warmest visual palette the studio has ever assembled. It is 2078, and Hitomi Tsuruse, a 17-year-old from a family of witches, has been unable to see color since childhood. Emotionally withdrawn and disconnected from the world, she is unexpectedly sent back 60 years to 1968 by her grandmother Kohaku, who reasons that the past might heal what the future has not. In the Nagasaki of 60 years ago, Hitomi finds a younger Kohaku and a circle of students in the school's art and magic club — including Yuito Aoi, whose watercolor paintings are the first things she can see in color. As Hitomi carefully navigates a world she does not belong to, befriends classmates who draw her out of herself, and tries to understand Yuito and his art, she begins recovering not just the ability to see color but the capacity to feel. *IRODUKU* moves slowly and deliberately, prioritizing atmosphere and character over plot momentum, and rewards patient viewers with a finale of rare emotional payoff. Its visual design — luminous skies, night festivals, the interplay of magic and ordinary life — is among the most beautiful in the P.A.Works catalog.
