Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You.

Mizuha’s seventeenth birthday proves to be a deeply disappointing milestone. Not only do her parents completely forget the occasion, but the older student she harbors romantic feelings for remains entirely indifferent to her existence. Surrounded by neglect and unrequited affection, Mizuha is left feeling invisible on what was supposed to be a celebratory day, struggling to find any reason to smile as her hopes quietly unravel. However, an unexpected confession suddenly disrupts her gloomy outlook. A childhood friend she has known for years steps forward and asks her out on a date, shattering the comfortable boundaries of their long-standing platonic dynamic. This sudden shift forces Mizuha to confront a complicated emotional dilemma: how does one transition from familiar friendship to something far more intimate? As she attempts to untangle her own heart, she begins to realize that navigating this new relationship might reveal deeper truths about those around her. Ultimately, Mizuha must determine whether she can embrace this change, especially as she discovers that her own evolving emotions are not the only ones undergoing a quiet transformation.
