“I want to learn to like you.” After screwing up the entrance exam for the high school she wanted, studious Nagisa has resolved to keep her chin up and move on. That is, until she meets a sickly girl named Mashiro at her new school—the very same girl who threw a wrench into her plans on exam day! Every time Nagisa looks her in the eye, she remembers her failure. Even so, she vows to warm up to Mashiro rather than hate her. And when Mashiro is inspired to change her own outlook on life, it may just bring them closer than Nagisa ever expected…
