The first part of this show is split into 3 parts.
Da Capo
Da Capo If
Da Capo Second Season
The show revolves around the island where the cherry blossoms are in constant bloom, regardless of the season. The phenomenon is caused by the magical tree, which can be easily identified by the largest tree in the island. The tree grants the wishes from the bottom of one's heart. If the wishes are not from the bottom of one's heart, the wish is not granted and nothing would happen.
In the first season, the main character, Asakura Junichi, have the power to look into the dreams of others (but it is not that useful). The only person that lives with him is his sister, Asakura Nemu. As time passes, the siblings realises that they are beginning to fall for each other. When they finally were about to become lovers, they realise the obstacles that they had to overcome. Junichi realises that even some of his friends fallen for him. His cousin, Yoshino Sakura, is the only one other than Junichi that could use magic on the island. Unfortunately, Sakura was also one of those that fallen for him. She would not mind if it was someone else but she could the accept the fact that Junichi fallen with his own sister. Sakura then made a wish to break the couple's relationship. The tree responded to the wish but differently from what Sakura expected. Nemu would start coughing out cherry blossom petals from her mouth and would eventually die. Sakura causes the tree wither as it was the only way for the wish to be cancelled so that Nemu would survive.
In the OVAs which follow the first season, it revolves around the school idol, Shirakawa Kotori, one of those who had fallen for Junichi. The OVAs are a different ending to the first season. Nemu could not be saved and died eventually. Junichi then picks Kotori after being depressed due to the death of Nemu.
In the second season, two years later after the first season, a girl from another country, Aisia, came to the island to learn magic from Junichi's grandmother. Unfortunately, his grandmother had passed away. At that point of time, Nemu came back from the nursing school that she went to two years ago. She came back to the school as a nurse trainee. Soon, Sakura came back and Aisia wanted to learn magic from her. Sakura refused as Aisia kept saying magic was to make people happy and did not know the reason why magic was dangerous. Aisia managed to revive the magic cherry blossom tree and did not learned from Sakura. Aisia soon made a wish to let everyone have a chance at falling in love with Junichi as she noticed the fact that his friends had fallen for him. Nemu also turned back to the way she was before, as a sister and not a lover. Even though the magic was activated, magic cannot overcome feelings. Junichi and Nemu started crying soon after looking through some stuff that triggered their emotions but they did not understand the reason for it. Aisia saw them crying and realises that magic does not always bring happiness. Sakura explains to Aisia what happened two years ago where Nemu nearly died. Aisia soon used her magic to return everything to the way it was before she came and there was a chance that everyone would forget about her. Later, Junichi and Nemu married each other and Junichi didn't forget about Aisia when she appeared at their wedding.
