STORY

She sang from the heart, but it wasn't a song of love. Until 
one summer event... First Love, First Feelings.
High school sophomore, Shima, is the youngest winner ever of an esteemed award for poetry. But she also longs to be an ordinary teenager. When a popular boy at school, Kento, asks her to go steady, Shima finds she has difficulty opening up to him, leading to a breakup. As she falls into a fit of despair and self-doubt, she is suddenly reunited with Kodai, a childhood friend now in college who is home for summer break. When she impulsively drags him along on a trip of emotional healing, she finds herself having to come to grips with her scattered reflections.
