Sakura Quest

Sakura Quest (Japanese: サクラクエスト, Hepburn: Sakura Kuesuto) is a 25-episode Japanese anime television series produced by P.A. Works and directed by Sōichi Masui. It aired from April 5 to September 20, 2017. The anime is described as part of P.A. Works' "working series", which tells the stories about people and their jobs, following Hanasaku Iroha and Shirobako. The story follows Yoshino Koharu, a young woman who is desperate to escape her rural home and find a more exciting life in Tokyo. After numerous job rejections, she receives an offer to work as the "Queen" of the bizarre "Kingdom of Chupakabura," a rundown mini-attraction in the small agricultural town of Manoyama. Upon arrival, Yoshino discovers she was mistaken for a celebrity and the job offer was a mistake. With no other options, she reluctantly agrees to take on the role and aid the Board of Tourism in their efforts to revitalize Manoyama. Determined to bring excitement to the dying town with the help of local residents, the queen enacts a series of projects to highlight the beauty and charm of Manoyama's culture. Sakura Quest delves into the story of a tight-knit community that is struggling to balance change while also maintaining the rich traditions and bonds which define their identity.
