9Fireworks, friends, and school festivals. Atami-kun is enjoying the first year of high school at his own leisurely pace, but quirky new characters keep finding their way into his life...and sometimes his heart. That vexing boy from the class next door who won't leave him alone. The cool upperclassman sharing words of wisdom. A romance over before it ever began. Through trials, tribulations, and aimless everyday conversations, Atami-kun learns what it means to love--perhaps just a bit.
