La traviata

As the school year draws to a close, Mochizou Ooji faces the end of his time in high school. He plans to attend university in Tokyo, but that means leaving behind everyone he knows-especially Tamako Kitashirakawa, the girl he’s secretly loved since childhood. While he prepares for a future far from home, Tamako has no such plans; she’ll stay in town, helping at her family’s small mochi shop. With his departure looming, the usually quiet Mochizou knows he has to act. If he doesn’t confess his feelings to Tamako soon, she may never know how he truly feels.
