CATDOLL: The prototype location of the drama "Youth Ripple" was revealed, and the mayor personally tweeted to promote it

The new April anime "Young Wave" has attracted widespread attention due to the many cute girls in the show. Currently, the prototype location of the anime, Yokosuka Kinugasa Shopping Street, has also hung up themed banners to attract attention, and even the mayor Yoshida Taketo personally tweeted to promote it.

According to Yokosuka Mayor Yoshida Yuto, the new anime "Young Waves" has been aired in April. The prototypes of the "Girls' Marine School" and the park in the anime are from Yokosuka City, and the promotional posters also feature many famous attractions such as Kinugasa Shopping Street and Kinugasa Park. In order to celebrate the launch of the anime, Kinugasa Shopping Street also specially hung a banner of "Yokosuka Girls' Marine School Entrance Ceremony" from "Young Waves" to bring fans closer to the anime.

Although the mayor's speech was very clear in its purpose - "Let's all come to Yokosuka to visit the holy sites", many netizens did not seem to buy it. Some netizens said, "There are already countless examples such as Kamogawa (the prototype of "Lagrange of Samsara") and Oarai Town in Ibaraki Prefecture (the prototype of "Girls und Panzer"), does the Tourism Bureau really think that only animation can make otaku go out to visit holy sites?", "Even if you say so, the animation "Ripple of Youth" is not interesting. I gave up after watching one episode"...

The story of "Youth Ripples" is set in a girls' school established for the purpose of learning skills to protect the safety of the ocean. Girls gather together to learn various courses and practical skills in order to become blue mermaids. Blue mermaids are a star profession for women working in the ocean. They must be familiar with the culture and etiquette of various countries and become veritable "sea elites."
