Synopsis
Love-naïve Iroha, 16, confronts romance when paired with cynical, love-wise classmate Kusakabe.
Iroha Aoyagi is a normal 16-year-old girl, except she's never fallen in love. She suspects there might be something wrong with her, until she meets her classmate Kusakabe-kun, who seems well-versed and cynical about matters of love. Will Iroha be able to handle someone like Kusakabe-kun? (Source: MU)
