I don't care as long as I don't lose any credits, I just have to show up at school for the minimum number of days. Even if I studied hard and go to college, I would just become a salaryman or something like that anyway. As I sat at home, that was the kind of bleak future I envisioned for myself. But in the spring of my senior year, I met you, the wild and naive girl who was more dedicated to her dreams than anyone else I've ever met, and I was touched by your straightforward enthusiasm. Two people who were supposed to be complete opposites became drawn to each other. But a choice hangs in the balance between finding love and realizing their dreams. Face your true self, say goodbye to the past, and let your youthful energy bloom into spring! (Source: MF Bunko, translated)
I, Saki Ayase, am a serious person. Ever since I was little, I listened to my mom, practiced hard, and everyone praised my performances. I also studied hard to become an "honor student" that everyone admired. I want to get better and better and become a great actress when I grow up! I was so sure that my dream would come true. However, I was told that my "honor student" performances lacked that spark, and my work as a child actress gradually dwindled. Encouraged by the fan letters, I continued to work hard without giving up, but... when I saw Rena Nanase's performance, I understood, "Ah, so that's what a genius looks like." A troubled elite's coming-of-age struggle to look forward once again! (Source: MF Bunko J, translated)
What would have happened if I had not made that mistake back then…? After my “confession” in middle school, I lost my best friend and childhood friend, became a pariah in class, and even quit the soccer team, where I was working hard hoping to become a pro. Entering high school, I spent most of my time at home playing video games instead of going to school. But two months into the school year, a teacher came to my house… The teacher introduced himself as Kiritani Kakeru, saying that he was a student at Seiran High School, too. And there was a time when he didn’t go to school, just like me. However, he changed when he met someone who made him realize the importance of being true to yourself. It made me wonder if I could do it too…? (Source: MF Bunko J, translated)
