A first love revisited a decade later

Maki and Midori’s relationship began in high school and ended at graduation, when Midori said they were too old to date girls. Ten years later, a chance reunion finds Maki still attached to her first love and Midori engaged. The story’s central tension lies in the gap between their shared past and their very different present, as Maki hears more about Midori’s fiancé and learns that Midori is keeping something from her. This first volume frames romance alongside questions of coming out, belonging, and whether reconnecting can open a path different from the one Maki once hoped for.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in yuri manga about women’s romantic relationships and coming out.
  • Readers who enjoy stories about former first loves reconnecting as adults.
  • Readers seeking relationship drama that centers on the tension between past feelings and present commitments.

Book overview

A dramatic, funny, and painful romance manga between two women about how, sometimes, you need to run away in order to find where you truly belong. Perfect for fans of coming-out yuri like How Do We Relationship? and masters of adult drama like Akiko Higashimura (Princess Jellyfish) and Takako Shimura (Even Though We're Adults).

You know that one person you just can't forget? Not the one that got away, but the one you had, until suddenly you didn't?

Maki's first love was her high school classmate, a girl named Midori. But Midori broke up with Maki at graduation, saying they were now "too old to be fooling around dating girls." Ten years later, Maki still can't get Midori off her mind, and when the two women reconnect after a chance encounter, Maki realizes that, while her feelings haven't changed, Midori has long moved on--in fact, she's engaged. Yet the more Maki hears Midori talk about her soon-to-be-husband, the more red flags she notices. And Midori has another secret, one she hasn't yet shared with Maki. Will it be the last blow to Maki's hopes that their romance might be rekindled? Or will it be the push that sets them on a new path--one they'll travel together?
