This is a cute story about two elementary school students - the assertive airhead transfer student Takada, and the gloomy girl who's a target of bullies, Nishimura.

Sato is a high school boy struggling with his grades, but that's the least of his worries. His childhood friend and former upperclassman Waseda Todome wants to spend time with him (the keyword being "former", as she's repeating the first year and now shares classrooms with Sato). The problem lies with the fact that, while being cute and flirty, she's dumb as bricks, and intends to make him sabotage his own grades because she doesn't want to be alone at the bottom of the school's grade ranks. However, it turns out that *she's dumb as bricks when it comes to that too…* Todome's poor planning has some unintended consequences, as it readily reveals that her intentions with Sato do not lie purely within the academic side of things… Will Sato take the hint, notwithstanding Todome's bad clues?

What if a child who died at a very young age appeared just as she was? What if it was the work of a supernatural tanuki? This isn't a reunion. She's not real, but still... I want to cling to it. That lie is kind, yet saddening.A heart-wrenching human drama, from Kawamura Taku.

Akane Nishimura is a shy and gloomy elementary school girl with an unfounded dire reputation in her class due to her appearance. Taiyou Takada is a transfer student in her class who came from a small countryside school, and who is fascinated by the aspects of Nishimura that her classmates use to pick on her, finding her "darkness" cool beyond compare. Through the unbridled and fundamental joy Takada finds in being her friend, Nishimura starts realizing that being herself is not as bad as she thinks.
