Ocean Waves: Watch Online

In Kōchi, Taku Morisaki receives a call from his friend, Yutaka Matsuno, asking to meet at their high school. He finds Yutaka with an attractive female transfer student, Rikako Muto, whom Yutaka was asked to show around. Rikako is academically gifted and good at sports, but also arrogant. Taku believes she is unhappy about leaving Tokyo.

A School Trip and Unexpected Events

On a school trip to Hawaii, Rikako asks Taku to lend her money, as she has lost her own. As Taku has a part-time job, he lends her ¥60,000. Promising to repay him, she warns him not to tell anyone. Back in Kōchi, the third year begins with Rikako making a friend, Yumi Kohama. Rikako has not returned Taku’s money and he wonders if she has forgotten. Out of the blue, a distressed Yumi calls Taku, explaining that Rikako had tricked her into coming to the airport on the pretense of a concert trip, only to discover that their real destination is Tokyo, tickets paid for with Taku’s money. He races to the airport and goes to Tokyo with Rikako in place of Yumi.

Revelations and Resolutions

When Taku and Rikako get to her father’s residence, they discover that Rikako’s father has already found a new lover. Rikako’s father thanks Taku, repays the loan, and arranges a room for him at the Hyatt Regency. Rikako, disappointed in her father, joins him and explains that when her parents were fighting, she had always sided with her father, but had now discovered that he was not on her side. Taku offers his bed and attempts to sleep in the bathtub. The following day, Rikako kicks Taku out so that she can change clothes to meet a friend for lunch. After exploring Tokyo and catching up on sleep at the hotel, Taku receives a call from Rikako asking to be rescued from her former boyfriend, Okada. When he arrives, he becomes angry at the conversation, and chastises Rikako and Okada for being “bores.”

Confrontations and Reunions

Back home, Rikako ignores Taku but tells her friends they spent a night together. Yutaka also tells Taku that he confessed to Rikako but was brutally rejected, prompting Taku to confront Rikako in class. They argue in the corridor, where she responds by slapping him and he hits her in return. The autumn school cultural festival arrives and Rikako becomes more distant from the other girls, many of whom openly dislike her. Taku sees Rikako defend herself from another student who tries to assault her and comments that he is impressed with the way she handled herself. She slaps him but runs away tearfully with regret. After seeing Rikako crying, Yutaka punches Taku for not standing up for Rikako, calls him an idiot, and walks away. None of the three talks to each other for the rest of the year and all begin attending different universities.

Final Thoughts and Conclusion

Taku, Yutaka, and Yumi reconnect at a class reunion several years later; Rikako does not attend. While reminiscing about high school, Yutaka comments that he punched Taku because he was angry that Taku had held off on pursuing Rikako due to her mistreatment of Yutaka. He was angry his friend had foregone a beautiful possibility on his account as the two watch the sunset and the ocean waves. After the class reunion party, Taku learns that Rikako was visiting Tokyo instead of being at the reunion to meet “someone who likes to sleep in bathtubs.” Later, back in Tokyo, Taku inadvertently has a glimpse of Rikako from across a train platform and runs to meet her. Rikako waits for him instead of boarding the train.
