Josee, The Tiger, and The Fish (ジョゼã�¨è™Žã�¨éšã�Ÿã�¡; Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi) is a romantic comedy anime movie by Studio Bones released in December 2020. The story follows Tsuneo Suzukawa, an college student who likes diving and aspires to study abroad in Mexico. One day, he meets and saves Josee, a disabled girl who is rarely allowed to go outside by her grandmother. The grandmother hires Tsuneo, who's a little tight on cash, as a caretaker for Josee. Josee (whose real name is Kumiko) makes odd requests, which, at first, aggravates Tsuneo. However, after seeing her room filled with drawings of sea creatures in the sky over cities, Tsuneo resolves to help Josee fulfill her wish to taste the sea.The movie is an adaptation of a short story of the same title by Seiko Tanabe. There is also a Japanese live-action adaptation released in 2003, and a Korean live-action adaptation called Josee released in 2020. |

Later on, Josee draws Little Mermaid and Shiny Wings as an allusion to Tsuneo's and Josee's condition and to show Tsuneo that she cares about him and encourages him to fight for his dream. |
