Seventeen-year-old Sachi Takamura, who has never had a boyfriend and attends an all-girls high school, is a natural and somewhat airheaded girl experiencing her first group date. She meets Yukihiro, a charming boy referred to as Yuki-chan, along with other guys named Ohei and Akahoshi during the event. Sachi quickly develops strong feelings toward Yukihiro after their encounter. Her best friend Akemi encourages her involvement in such social situations. The interactions among Sachi, Yukihiro, and the others begin to shape her inexperienced approach to romance.

Kuronuma Sawako, a shy high school girl often misunderstood due to her resemblance to a horror movie ghost, longs to make friends but struggles to connect until she meets Kazehaya Shouta, a popular and kind-hearted boy who sees her true self. As Sawako opens up with Kazehaya’s encouragement, she forms bonds with classmates like the lively Chizuru and reserved Ayane, while navigating her growing feelings for him. This tender tale blends romance, friendship, and self-discovery, following a girl’s journey from isolation to love and acceptance, finding her place in a world warmed by the kindness of those around her.
