Violet Evergarden was raised inside a war as a weapon, and the war ended without anyone explaining what she was supposed to be after. She arrives at the CH Postal Service unable to read most social cues but able to handle a fountain pen like a second skill, and she takes the company's most delicate role: an Auto Memory Doll, the typist clients hire to take feelings they cannot put into words and turn them into letters. The series follows the women and parents she ghost-writes for, and her slow attempt to understand what one final command from her commanding officer was supposed to mean.
A masterfully crafted series in which the journey matters more than the destination. Spoilers ahead.
