Synopsis:

Set in the everyday environment of Karai High School, *Senryuu Shoujo* explores the quiet connection between Nanako Yukishiro and Eiji Busujima. Nanako, a seemingly typical student, communicates exclusively through senryuu – concise, seventeen-syllable poems that reveal her inner world. Eiji, who reformed from a troubled past through his appreciation of this art form, shares a comfortable camaraderie with Nanako within the school's Literature Club.

The series gently portrays their interactions, highlighting how their unique form of communication fosters understanding and friendship. Rather than grand conflicts or dramatic events, *Senryuu Shoujo* focuses on the subtle beauty found in shared moments and the power of art to bridge emotional gaps. It offers a contemplative glimpse into the lives of two teenagers navigating adolescence through poetry and mutual respect.
