Tsukigakirei

As a new school year begins, Kotarou Azumi, an aspiring writer, and Akane Mizuno, a track team member, find themselves in the same class for their last year of junior high. At first, they barely know each other, but a few unexpected meetings spark something simple yet tender in their hearts. A lingering glance, a racing pulse-the quiet signs of young love begin to weave into their lives as fate pulls them closer. Yet love, for all its warmth, isn’t always easy. Though they feel at ease together, doubt and worry shadow their growing emotions. Neither is sure how the other truly feels, and with others vying for their attention, the path forward feels uncertain. Still, beneath the glow of a bright full moon, Kotarou finds the courage to ask Akane one question-a moment that shifts their quiet connection forever.
