An indoor-minded new student is drawn into a seaside fishing club, where catching dinner is only the beginning of learning what to do with it.
Hina hopes to join a handicrafts club after moving to the coast. Instead, an encounter with the Breakwater Club puts her among anglers whose practical enthusiasm challenges her discomfort with living creatures.
Fishing gives the club a sequence of concrete problems: choosing tackle, reading a place, handling a catch and preparing food. Hina's hesitation makes those tasks an entry point rather than knowledge the audience must already possess. The companions have different habits, so instruction also becomes a way of spending time together. The twelve television episodes form the anime's scope.
