Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry Blossom Pink

This manga comprises two volumes, each containing seven short stories set within an all-girls school. Several narratives share a continuous storyline featuring the same protagonists: specifically, the first, fifth, sixth, and seventh chapters of the first volume, along with the first five chapters of the second volume. This description corresponds to the complete Futabasha edition released in April 2012, which features a revised chapter order compared to the earlier, incomplete Ichijinsha publication. The first volume opens with "Even if We're Not Friends," depicting two girls who were close in junior high but are separated upon entering different high schools. "The Summer Closest to Heaven" follows a ghost who accidentally possesses a student, using the opportunity to connect with her beloved. In "A Kiss, Love, and a Prince," the protagonist is flustered after being kissed by her upperclassman co-star during a school play, having always envisioned her first kiss would be with a boy resembling a dashing prince. "This Love From I Can't Remember When" explores one girl's unrequited affection. The interconnected arc begins with "If I Kiss Her Ring Finger," where Nana wishes to deepen her relationship with Hitomi, who appears uninterested; struggling academically, Nana uses makeup exams as a pretext to avoid her. "Chocolate Kiss" sees Valentine’s Day evoke both sweet and sorrowful memories for the pair, while "Wishing on the Moon" questions whether they can successfully balance their romance with life's other obligations. The second volume continues the shared narrative through "Secret Girlfriends," "Classmates," "Before the Storm," "Running Away...For Real," and "Our Story." The collection also includes standalone tales such as "Cherries For Your Lips," which portrays a girl harboring feelings for her best friend, and "Real Love," centering on an innocent writer left bewildered when an underclassman unexpectedly confesses her love.
