Mana Kirihara returns to her hometown after seven years to reunite with her childhood friend Kaname Kusukabe, who only tries to distance himself from her in return, leaving Mana confused and hurt.

 * Crowning Moment of Funny: When Kaname mentions the story of when he protected Mana from a dog when they were children:

Kaname: It chased me and bit me.

Shiba: Er... Kusukabe? You're talking kinda funny...

Kaname: So the next day I took a bat and went looking for that dog. Gotta get revenge <- Fell down and got wounded from running away [-But by the time I got there, she... had already made friends with it.
