Honey Lemon Soda

Uka Ishimori, a first-year high school student, hopes for a new beginning. In middle school, she was called "Rocky" by her classmates, who mistook her quiet, introverted nature for coldness. The misunderstanding led to relentless bullying, leaving Uka isolated and lonely. Now, she’s determined to leave that past behind. During her first week of high school, Uka gets soaked in lemon soda by Kai Miura, a classmate whose confident demeanor contrasts sharply with her own. To her surprise, Kai starts showing her small kindnesses afterward, helping Uka slowly open up. Like the fizzy drink, new, bubbly emotions begin to surface-feelings she never expected.
