Synopsis
Awkward senpai Kannawa develops feelings for her cute, nerdy new kouhai Kamegawa.
Kannawa-senpai is considered many things, but smooth is definitely not one of them. Then she meets Kamegawa, her new Kouhai. He's cute, a little nerdy, and easy to talk to. How will this awkward Senpai be able to handle these new feelings?! (Source: Comikey Media)
