The anime film adaptation of The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes is heading to North American theaters, and HIDIVE has shared the first trailer.

“Urashima Tunnel – Once you enter that tunnel, you can get whatever you want, but at a price. Kaoru Tono, who seems to have an elusive personality and traumatic past, and Anzu Hanashiro, who is struggling to reconcile her ideal image and true-to-heart attitude, team -up to investigate the Urashima Tunnel and get what they want. This is an unforgettable summer story of nostalgia and sprinting in a remote countryside.”

The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes began as a light novel written by Mei Hachimoku and illustrated by Kukka. It is a coming-of-age story following two high schoolers and a mysterious tunnel capable of granting any wish, but at an extreme cost. It would later get a manga adaptation written by Mei Hachimoku and illustrated by Koudon.

The anime film adaptation was released in Japan in September 2022 and was directed by Tomohisa Taguchi, written by Tomohisa Taguchi, with music by Harumi Fuuki, and animation by CLAP.
