Synopsis
English transfer student Ryuu claims Yukino at Tanabata; inexperienced Yukino questions her unexpected feelings.
Ryuu, a super-business-like transfer student from England with black hair and blue eyes just arrived! During the night of the Tanabata festival, Ryuu and Yukino became attracted to each other at first sight. He then declares, "You will be mine!" This brought confusion to Yukino, who has zero experience in love. But could she actually be falling in love? (Source: Aerandria Scans)
