Synopsis
College freshman Arata meets online love Yukino, faces reality, and discovers unexpected feelings in new relationships.
University classes have commenced, and Arata Hasumi is just one of the confused freshmen cluelessly navigating the campus. Fortunately, an unnamed senior shows Arata around the place, making Arata optimistic toward his first day in college. Furthermore, on his first day of school, Arata will finally get the chance to meet his online friend, Yukino. Yukino has always given Arata sweet words of encouragement during the summer; since then, Arata has fallen in love with her. However, when Arata finally meets Yukino in person, he discovers that reality might be quite different from his expectations. As Arata navigates the complexities of college life and new relationships, he finds himself drawn to someone unexpected, leading to a journey of self-discovery and understanding what love truly means.
