Ultra teaser PV

A watercolor-style illustration depicts four young girls in matching light blue school uniforms walking away from the viewer down a path lined with pale blue trees.  The girls, with dark hair, appear to be joyful and carefree, their arms linked as they walk. The central figure, slightly ahead of the others, has their hair tied back. The background is a serene scene of a light blue path that appears to reflect light or water, leading towards a pale building partially obscured by trees.  The overall color palette is soft and pastel, predominantly light blues and purples. The style evokes a feeling of gentle nostalgia and youthfulness. The Japanese text vertically written in the center translates to 'Awajima Hyakkei' (淡島百景), seemingly the title of the work.
