A tranquil new summer-themed visual for the anticipated anime Wash It All Away has been officially revealed, giving fans a serene glimpse of what to expect from the emotional slice-of-life series. Featuring the central character Wakana Kinme walking through the vibrant Atami Water Park, the visual captures a moment of quiet joy that reflects the atmosphere of the seaside town where the story unfolds. The anime is scheduled for a 2026 premiere, and with every new teaser, excitement continues to grow among fans of healing and emotionally resonant storytelling.
Studio Okuruto Noboru is bringing this adaptation to life, with Kenta Onishi directing the project. Toko Machida is handling the script and overall series composition, while Azuma Tozawa’s character designs lend a warm and intimate tone to the visuals. Sayumi Suzushiro will voice Wakana Kinme, the calm and dedicated protagonist whose story is set against the backdrop of a small, tight-knit coastal community.
Wash It All Away, originally titled Kirei ni Shite Moraemasu ka, is adapted from the manga by Mitsuru Hattori. Serialized in Square Enix’s Young Gangan magazine from 2017 to 2023, the manga developed a dedicated following thanks to its soothing slice-of-life storytelling and emotionally layered characters. The English publication by Square Enix describes the story of Wakana Kinme as one of quiet strength and gentle perseverance. For two years, Wakana has run a small laundry service in the resort town of Atami, known as Kinme Cleaning. Her work is simple but meaningful, cleaning clothes and items that often carry deep sentimental value.
Despite having no memories of her own past, Wakana finds fulfillment in helping others preserve theirs. Her business becomes a beloved fixture of the community, not just for its quality but for the care and kindness Wakana offers to each customer. Her interactions with locals, visits to hot springs, and connection to the town form the emotional core of the series. Through her dedication to cleaning, Wakana protects the memories hidden in everyday objects, showing how something as simple as a freshly washed shirt can hold stories that deserve to be remembered.
The new visual enhances this emotional setting by showcasing Wakana amidst a typical summer day in Atami. The atmosphere is light and comforting, reflecting the tone of a show that aims to bring peace, reflection, and emotional healing to viewers. As anticipation builds for the 2026 premiere, Wash It All Away stands out as a promising addition to the world of healing anime, perfect for those who appreciate quiet character-driven narratives.
