Synopsis
Middle school reunion sparks bittersweet reunion between Utsumi and Matsuri, exploring first love and personal transformation.
Two years after graduation, Utsumi and Matsuri unexpectedly reunite at their middle school reunion. The once-familiar Utsumi appears transformed—his hair returned to its natural color, his demeanor subtly altered. Matsuri, noticing these changes, finds herself confronting emotions she thought she'd left behind. As they reconnect, questions arise about what truly shapes a person: the influence of those who care about us, or the new connections we forge along the way? A gentle exploration of first loves, personal growth, and the bittersweet nature of reunions. (Source: Adapted from JShoujo Scans)
