Uso kara Hajimaru Koi no Natsu: squall

After running away from home, Kaoru is discovered wandering in a downpour by her homeroom teacher, Mirei. Soaked and vulnerable, she is taken in by the one person who appears to have everything together. Within the halls of their school, Mirei projects the image of a dependable and responsible adult, earning the trust of those around her. However, behind closed doors, a starkly different reality emerges. In the privacy of her own home, Mirei drinks through the middle of the day, filling the quiet hours with endless, rambling chatter that reveals a far more fragile side of her character. Despite her own messy habits and lack of personal discipline, Mirei makes a genuine effort to help Kaoru confront and process the troubles that drove her away in the first place. As they spend more time together outside the rigid expectations of the classroom, the boundaries between student and teacher begin to blur in unexpected ways. What develops between them is not a polished or predictable love story, but rather the tentative beginning of an unsteady romance. Both women are still struggling to navigate their own lives, bound together by shared vulnerabilities as two people who have not yet fully grown up.
