Sae Iwata, a slightly tougher-than-average girl, falls for the gentle smile of Kouki Kamishiro, a delicate boy, back in elementary school. By the time they enter junior high school, Kuoki has grown into a charming and popular teen who now feels out of reach. When they are assigned to the sports festival committee together, Sae’s long-hidden first love begins to stir once more.

The verdict
Senpai’s take
Season picksMust watchFall 2025A tall, insecure girl and the childhood friend she has loved forever, now the most popular boy in school who is obviously into her. It does not shake up the shojo romcom formula but executes it beautifully, with a soft art style, likable characters and perfectly timed doki-doki moments. If you need your shojo fix good and fast, it does not disappoint.
