* **Story**
Futaba Yoshioka (Natsuki出口) and Kou Tanaka (Kaito Sakurai) were classmates in junior high. After a rainy day, their distance closed, and they promised to go to a festival together. However, Kou never showed up at the meeting place and transferred schools without telling Futaba anything. Now a high school student, Futaba pretends to be a "rough girl" to avoid being disliked by her friends. She starts to notice Yuri Makita (Riko), who is isolated in class, as she reminds Futaba of herself in junior high. Suddenly, a boy who looks like Kou appears before Futaba. But he is called "Mabuchi"? A full-scale youth love story packed with the "everything of youth"—love, friendship, friends, family—that is blue, bittersweet, and beautiful.
