Synopsis:

The series follows Hana Uzaki as she navigates her freshman year of college and reconnects with Shinichi Sakurai, a quiet upperclassman from their shared high school club. Once vibrant, Sakurai now maintains a solitary existence, prioritizing solitude over social engagement. Determined to draw him out of his shell, Uzaki persistently orchestrates opportunities for them to spend time together, from casual outings to his part-time job.

Sakurai initially finds her efforts disruptive, yet he consistently yields to her persistent charm, leading to a series of lighthearted and often chaotic encounters. Their interactions gradually blur the lines between platonic friendship and something more, sparking speculation amongst their peers. The anime explores themes of connection, personal growth, and the evolving dynamics of relationships within a college setting, all delivered through a lens of gentle comedy and endearing character interactions.
