Plot

[edit]

Nozomi Aizawa meets and falls in love with Shiro Azuma in their first year at Heiwadai High School. Too shy to talk to him, her feelings are kept secret until their second year, when she suddenly confesses to him at a train station. Shiro takes Nozomi's declaration of love as a joke, but from that day on the two of them start talking on the bench at the station and, eventually, at school as well.

Besides Nozomi and Shiro's ongoing love story the comic also deals with their schoolmates, including literature club president Marin Hamada, popular Kazuomi Tamaki, and Shiro's teen aunt, Suzu.
