Fourteen-year-old Ichika Asagiri has always treasured her grandmother's parting wisdom: to follow her heart wherever it leads in matters of love. When a mysterious silver-haired girl named Aria appears at her home claiming to be an old acquaintance of her grandmother, Ichika finds herself drawn into an unexpected friendship. Aria, who seems no older than Ichika herself, possesses an otherworldly beauty and an air of mystery that both intrigues and unsettles the young girl. As their unusual bond deepens, Ichika begins to notice peculiar things about her new friend—Aria's strange habits, her unusual strength, and her apparent ability to appear and disappear at will. Despite the questions swirling in her mind, Ichika feels an inexplicable pull toward Aria, experiencing emotions she's never felt before. In the quiet moments they share, Ichika discovers that love can take the most unexpected forms, and that sometimes the heart knows what it wants long before the mind can understand why. This is a tender coming-of-age story about first love, family bonds, and the courage to embrace feelings that defy easy explanation.
