Synopsis: A narrative of self-discovery masquerading as a coming of age romance, a family composition drama, a procedural detective story, and a superpowered thriller. Sakuta Minami openly professes the many loves of her life: Matsumoto Leiji anime, her family, swimming, Magical Plastering Girl Buffalo Koteko, but the unanswered questions surrounding her mother’s separation from her natural father have nagged her all her life. Moji Shouhei, an anime geek with prodigious talent for calligraphy, holds in his gifted hands both a physical key to the school roof of their high school as well as the figurative key to finally unraveling the mystery of Minami’s father.

Side notes: This is a manga that I've been wanting to read since I saw it on the Manga Taisho 2015 list. The synopsis and the cover image were something that made me really want to read it and now that is possible due a recent translation project which makes it now possible to understand what is said and written.^-^/
Art is not what you expect from a seinen manga in general. It's more like done for kids, type of dry water colors style at first, although the story itself is not like that (see the tags). After the beginning the style changes a bit by bit to more and more sketchy style of art so that it's almost crafty and plain. Still the first three chapters are creating a mood, not secretive nor bad... more to down-to-earth -kinda feeling with slice of life add ons.^-^b
