INTRODUCTION:
Dear Kirio-kun, I like you.
But I didn’t know…
That liking someone could be this painful.
I really, really like you, Kirio-kun.
I want to eat hamburgers with you.
I want to share an umbrella with you.
I want to smash plates together with you.
I want to go on a journey searching for every mole on your body.
I want the day I met you to be a national holiday.
Aimi and Nami, sharing their thoughts about the person they love—these are their
precious moments together.
They thought these ordinary days would last forever.
But this chain of one-sided feelings is about to change their everyday life.
