A captivating short story collection by acclaimed manga artist Kawahara Kazune. *Shiawase no Kanzume*: Emi has been dating Fujii-kun for a month, yet their dynamic feels entirely unchanged since their days as mere acquaintances. Distressed that her feelings still seem one-sided, she wins a mysterious prize known as "Canned Happiness" at a local town raffle. Though she initially accepts it without a second thought, she promptly forgets about it—until a tiny, white-bearded man suddenly materializes before her. *Otoko no Ko ni wa Wakarumai*: Hasegawa Shinako has long been self-conscious about her weight. Upon secretly discovering that she weighs more than her crush, she resolves to start a diet immediately. To her great embarrassment, he discovers her secret, leading to... *Million Words*: Kitou is dating Kawai, a boy a year younger than her. While their relationship is going reasonably well, she cannot shake the nagging feeling that it is built to fail. They inhabit completely different worlds, and she fears Kawai will realize this before long. *Kawaisa Amatte*: Matsuda has always struggled to express her true feelings around others. Whenever she grows nervous, she ends up saying the exact opposite of what she intends—particularly in the presence of Tsumura, the boy she likes. At this rate, she worries he will grow to despise her in a matter of days. *Itsumo Watashi ga Koko ni Iru*: Kawamura asks Tanaka out as a favor to Kondou-senpai. The original scheme was simple: Tanaka would decline, Kawamura would persist, and Kondou would swoop in like a hero to rescue Tanaka. The plan decidedly did NOT account for Tanaka saying yes.
