Synopsis
College lesbian Maki denies her feelings for new student Kanna despite friend's encouragement.
College student Maki meets and clearly falls for the new student on campus, Kanna. But, like a good little lesbian, she prefers denial to pursuit, even when her best friend, Lilia, pushes her to make a move. Thus begins Rikachi's Ibara no Namida. (Source: Okazu)
