In this autobiographical manga, Mieri looks back on entering adulthood with little dating experience and a very specific hope of finding a short-haired girlfriend she can truly connect with. Repeated crushes end badly until she meets Ash and experiences mutual romantic feelings for the first time. The relationship and heartbreak that follow push Mieri to examine loneliness, self-worth, and what finding happiness means when the love story she wanted does not unfold according to plan.
