Synopsis
Shy 14-year-old Azami experiences first love with mysterious Makoto after chance encounters in borrowed dress.
Azami is a particularly boring 14-year-old. She has no friends, she spends all her time studying, and she's never fallen in love... until one day, her sister lends her a fancy dress, and she meets a boy who changes everything. Azami meets Makoto when he stops a thief from stealing her purse. Over the next few days, they end up bumping into each other quite frequently, and Azami starts to feel something she's never experienced before. As their paths continue to cross, their connection deepens, though Makoto remains somewhat mysterious about his past. This is a story about first love, unexpected encounters, and the bittersweet nature of growing up. Included one-shots: Volume 2: Innocent World: Hitoribocchi Volume 3: Innocent World: Setsunai Kimochi
