Aria the OVA: Arietta

Akari Mizunashi imagines the day she finally becomes a Prima Undine, only to wake with an uneasy realization: she may not have the confidence to manage Aria Company on her own. With the future suddenly feeling closer—and heavier—than expected, she turns to her mentor, Alicia Florence, one of Neo-Venezia’s renowned “Water Fairies,” for guidance.

Alicia responds with an unexpected honesty, opening up about the doubts she once carried when stepping into responsibility and taking on an apprentice. As she reflects on how she learned to move forward despite uncertainty, Akari finds comfort in her words and steadies herself to face the challenges ahead on the path to her dream.
