Joyful!

Yuu Iwabuchi has spent her entire life under the weight of her parents' strict expectations. Determined to fulfill every demand placed upon her, she has sacrificed her personal passions without hesitation. This includes abandoning her deep love for manga and cosplay, as well as enrolling in the specific high school her parents chose for her future. Despite her unwavering obedience, living entirely according to someone else's rigid rules has quietly distanced her from the person she truly is beneath the surface. Her carefully controlled existence begins to shift when she crosses paths with a young man named Yano. Unlike Yuu, who lives bound by duty and restriction, Yano possesses a naturally carefree and unburdened spirit. His relaxed approach to life stands in stark contrast to the heavy pressures she has always endured. Through their unexpected connection, Yano gently encourages Yuu to look beyond the boundaries set by her family. His influence becomes the catalyst she needs, ultimately helping her rediscover her authentic self and the vibrant interests she was forced to leave behind.
