Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring (WIT Studio)
Winter was once the only season in the world-but such an existence was too lonely to bear, and so it created Spring to love.

Hinagiku, the Agent of Spring, disappeared from this land ten years ago, taking the season of spring with her. Now, after incredible hardship, she has returned to restore the cycle to its proper state-and, as in the myth passed down since the dawn of time, she sends her love to Winter.
