I loved this so much. We follow an awkward country girl named Mitsumi who comes to the city and starts high school. Once there, she meets friends and learns how to open up to people.
This book is utterly adorable. It reminded me of Kimi Ni Todoke, which is a favorite of mine. If you like high school friendship stories, you have to pick this up!

Some of the best slice of life I’ve read so far! Started reading this manga after watching the anime and realizing I couldn’t stand to not know the rest of the story. Incredibly cute (a friend of mind described it as being like “eating sugar straight from the bag”), and a very honest and introspective examination about growing up and making new friends.
