As for the plot, Yen Press describes it as: “Middle school left Uka Ishimori with nothing but scars—to the point where she’s forgotten how to laugh or cry or even say “hello.” But a chance reencounter with a boy with lemon-coloured hair invigorates her, giving her hope that maybe, just maybe, life can be that much sweeter if she finally reaches out for help.”
