Kimi no Kokoro wo Kanjitai

Yomi Hashiba should be on top of the world. After all, he has done the impossible: he has secured a relationship with Mizuki Hanai, the aloof and enigmatic beauty whose cool demeanor has captivated the entire school. Yet, a month into their fledgling romance, Yomi finds himself perpetually unsettled. Despite the closeness their new status implies, an unbridgeable chasm seems to separate them. Mizuki’s placid, unreadable expressions offer him no clue to her inner world, leaving him to wander through a fog of doubt and anxiety, constantly second-guessing his every word and action in fear of pushing her away. As the weight of his insecurity threatens to suffocate their delicate bond, Yomi’s daily life takes an inexplicable turn. While lost in his usual spiral of worry about the girl who sits beside him, he is startled to realize that he can literally *see* her thoughts manifesting before his eyes—not as vague intuitions, but as tangible Japanese characters hovering in the air. This strange new perception grants him a terrifyingly direct access to Mizuki’s heart. However, the blessing is also a curse, for the "Kanji" materializing before him are a direct transcription of her unspoken feelings, forcing Yomi to confront the complex, often surprising reality of what his girlfriend truly thinks, and whether he is ready to face it.
