Hisokana Hana Emi

Yohira Shino is burdened by her striking appearance, which has sparked persistent rumors that she casually manipulates men. As a result, those around her view her as both a nuisance and someone to be feared, leaving her isolated by the very traits that draw attention. Her complicated daily life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Yozakura Yuui, a second-year upperclassman whom Shino distinctly remembers disliking for being a seemingly perfect honors student. Despite their initial friction, unforeseen circumstances force the two girls to share a single dormitory room. Shino strongly resists the arrangement at first, unwilling to bridge the gap between herself and someone she already holds in low regard. However, as they navigate their new living situation together, Shino gradually discovers that Yuui possesses a quiet depth that sets her apart from everyone she has ever encountered. What begins as reluctant cohabitation slowly shifts into something far more meaningful. This volume also includes the introductory chapter zero.
