She, Her Camera, and Her Seasons

Akari is a third-year student who has spent her high school career sticking to the straight and narrow…but her attention is caught by Yuki Sendo, the short-haired, standoffish girl in her class who seems to buck the trend. Akari can’t seem to stop seeking Yuki out, and her feelings rapidly develop into something more than girlish friendship. But Yuki seems to have eyes only for her childhood friend, Rintaro Kagawa…who himself seems to have feelings for Akari. It’s a mess…and one that threatens to grow even messier as Akari navigates between what she wants and what’s expected of her…

It’s the spring of Akari Miyama’s last year of high school, and she’s feeling constrained by her superficial friendships and stifling routine. But that all changes when she meets Yuki Sendo, the cool beauty wielding a twin-lens reflex camera. Akari’s days begin to shine, and she discovers new feelings inside herself… Akari’s euphoric bubble is burst as she begins to sense the deep bond between Yuki and Rintaro. To make matters worse, the feelings she’s been trying to hide come through clear as day in her photo of Yuki. The pair’s blossoming friendship is tested as secrets come into the light…

“We’re so close, but I feel so lonely…” It’s the spring of Akari Miyama’s last year of high school, and she’s feeling constrained by her superficial friendships and stifling routine. That all changes when she meets Yuki Sendo, the cool beauty wielding a twin-lens reflex camera, and Akari’s days begin to shine. But Akari starts to feel shaken by the deep bond between Yuki and her childhood friend Rintaro, and Yuki notices some mysterious emotions in Akari’s photos… At Yuki’s suggestion, Akari starts pretending to date Rintaro. But it’s not long before her feelings start to waver, and the line between acting and actual dating starts to blur. The love triangle deepens as autumn turns to winter…

“You’re not fair, Yuki!” Akari’s words burrow their way into Yuki’s heart, where they ignite her memories of Rintaro. The love between the three of them grows ever deeper and more entangled…

After passing each other by for so long, the two finally overlap… “Make more animal sounds for me…” High school life is nearing its end for Akari, Yuki, and Rintaro. What’s waiting for them beyond this period of unrequited love and blue feelings…?
