Campaign Special Website: https://tasukeai.ja-kyosai.or.jp/ ■ 'Tasukeai Story' Episode 4 Overview ~ 'Mutual Aid' Passed Down to the Next Generation ~ This story is based on an episode that emerged in the wake of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. On January 17, 1995, many people were affected by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Among them, children were left with significant anxiety and emotional scars. Providing emotional support to these children was the 'mutual aid' delivered from all over the country in the form of relief supplies. In particular, many books were sent for children who could not read due to damage to libraries and other facilities. These books were used in volunteer reading sessions, helping to restore smiles and hope to the children. Based on the experiences learned and the help received through these volunteer activities, what action did the protagonist and the children who were helped take? The small acts of 'mutual aid' born in the disaster-stricken area are eventually passed on to the next generation. 'Minami' and 'Haruka' search for 'mutual aid' across time and space. Please watch the fourth episode of the anime, which serves as the conclusion to their journey.
