A Quiet Kind of Love
In the quiet corners of Harushiro High, sometimes silence speaks the loudest.
Seventeen-year-old Haruki Minase never planned to stand out. After transferring schools at the start of the spring term, he prefers to keep his head down, his words few, and his thoughts tucked safely in a leather-bound notebook he never lets anyone read. A past he won’t talk about lingers like a shadow—but at least in silence, there’s control.
Then he meets Sora Fujimoto, the girl who always eats lunch alone behind the gym, who sends unsent postcards to no one, and who speaks like she’s remembering things rather than saying them. She doesn’t ask questions. She doesn’t try to fix him. But slowly, in shared spaces and unspoken moments, she begins to matter.
As spring deepens into summer, Haruki and Sora begin to find comfort in each other’s quiet—folding paper stars, writing messages in library books, walking home under drifting cherry blossoms. But the closer they get, the more they must face the parts of themselves they’ve kept hidden.
Before the final bell rings for summer break, a single choice will ask them both:
Is it enough to be seen, or do you dare to be known?
