Synopsis
Nino must watch over secretive neighbor Kira-kun for a year, their fates intertwining in a bittersweet romance.
For one short year, haplessly awkward, cockatiel-toting Nino has to keep watch over class joker and nextdoor neighbor, Kira-kun. Can Kira-kun—who harbors a terrible secret—find it in himself to open up and learn something new from Nino, or will she be consumed by his world? Two fates intertwine to become the "closest love to Heaven." (Source: Kodansha Comics USA)
