Cute Feelings

Kayama Miharu begins her new middle school life, and her initial encounter with Mori Mizutama, a very charming boy she initially mistakes for a girl, sets the stage for a budding friendship. However, Miharu's feelings for Mizutama are hard to express, particularly with the older Kawagoe seemingly taking an interest in him as well. In her attempt to catch Mizutama's attention, Miharu tries her best to become more charming, but her efforts are consistently thwarted by Mizutama's exceptional talent in home economics and his naturally endearing appearance, which surpasses her own. As Miharu struggles to come to terms with her feelings, Mizutama makes an unexpected decision - he decides to join the school soccer club, led by Kawagoe, rather than pursuing his interests in the comedy-lovers' club. This development adds a new layer of complexity to Miharu's emotions and her relationship with Mizutama. The story follows her as she navigates these challenges, all while trying to maintain a connection with the person she has grown to care for. The narrative also includes a one-shot chapter titled "Fuyu Hanabi," which provides additional insight into the characters and their relationships. Through her experiences, Miharu learns valuable lessons about friendship, love, and self-discovery, making for a heartwarming and engaging read.
