Iroha avoids the awkwardness she feels around her classmates by sitting outside and talking to Sou, the handsome boy she met at the library. However, one day a boy from her class discovers the secret she’s been keeping from everyone. Has Iroha found her perfect match in Sou, or just an illusory love?
