Synopsis
Five short romance manga stories: secret love, lazy stargazer, frustrated girlfriend, virgin novelist, and second-chance confessions.
Junai Clover Terrified of what people would say, Mai never confessed her feelings to Ikeda when they were in middle school. Though they briefly dated, Ikeda's frustration with having to keep their relationship a secret caused them to split up and go their separate ways in high school. Even though a year has passed, Mai still has lingering feelings for the boy, which holds her back from pursuing other relationships. But a chance encounter with Ikeda on a bus has the girl wondering if she will finally get her thoughts off her chest. Gyoubou Hoshizora Vain and lazy Mizurin Akiyoshi dreams of getting a scholarship to Tan High School so she can coast through life easily. Unfortunately, her terrible grades and lack of involvement in extracurricular activities make this dream impossible. Still determined to see this unfeasible goal through, she hastily joins the school's astronomy club, hoping it will be an easy commitment. But the club leader, Sora Yasunaga, refuses to let her just be a member on paper, making Mizurin's plans all the more difficult. Junjou Shuushinki While her friends always talk about their sexual experiences, Asumi cannot relate to them—she has not done anything with Keishi, her boyfriend of six months, just yet. Frustrated with how childish he is, Asumi decides to take matters into her own hands and turn him into an adult on their next date. Shuushin Ice Cube Although she recently debuted as an erotic romance novelist, high school student Juu Mangetsu is secretly a virgin who has not been in a relationship since middle school. Believing that her writing is a recounting of her sexual experiences, her classmate Shiizaki confesses to her, only to be rejected. But when her editor comes to her with a proposal to write another series, Juu finds herself turning to the very boy she rejected in hopes of getting ideas for the manuscript. What she ends up finding may be more than what she bargained for.
