Like a Butterfly

Suiren and Kawasumi are now second-years, and they’re fortunate enough to be in the same class! Seeing each other this way is nice, but Suiren starts to feel lonely as Kawasumi immerses himself in karate. Can Suiren work up the courage to tell Kawasumi that she wants more?

Suiren and Kawasumi love each other, but they also hurt one another—to the point where they mutually decide to put some distance between them. As they work through their uncertainty, maybe the summer festival that got them together in the first place can provide a magical spark!

After seeking advice from Atohira, Suiren is determined to show more courage in her relationship with Kawasumi. But when Atohira realizes he also has feelings for Suiren, his rivalry with Kawasumi reaches new heights. When the schools cultural festival rolls around, will the tension between the two finally boil over?

While Suiren helps Aya deal with boy trouble and heartbreak, Kawasumi takes a hard look at his future. Chasing his dream means moving away, and hes not sure how to break the news to Suiren. Will their love be able to survive their greatest challenge yet?
