    Synopsis:

    Set against the backdrop of everyday school life, *12-sai.: Chicchana Mune no Tokimeki* explores the subtle shifts in relationships during pre-adolescence. The series centers on a group of four 12-year-olds navigating the complexities of burgeoning feelings and self-discovery. Hanabi Ayase, initially skeptical of romantic notions, experiences an unexpected shift in perspective through an assignment with Takao Yuuto. Meanwhile, Aoi Yui finds herself drawn to the impulsive Kazuma Hiyama after a moment of unexpected kindness.

It emphasizes the quiet joy of friendship alongside the excitement of romantic interest as these characters grapple with their evolving emotions and identities during a formative period. The atmosphere is gentle and observational, capturing the unvarnished reality of navigating young hearts.
