Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Mizuno and Chayama by Yuhta Nishio, Eleanor Summers, and Erin Hickman explores themes of societal pressures and personal freedom.

Mizuno, the daughter of a mayoral candidate, is desperate to escape the suffocating pressure and scrutiny of small-town life. Chayama, the heiress of the tea company Chayama-en, is firmly walking the path laid out for her, despite being forced to atone for her family’s apparent misdeeds.

Yet in the bubble of the school’s third-floor guidance counselling roomβ€”away from rumours, watchful eyes, and their feuding familiesβ€”they are simply Mizuno and Chayama, two teenagers who find comfort and hope in each other.

But when the outside world tries to tear them apart, the two must find a way to protect their relationship and, more importantly, themselves.
