Synopsis: Aizawa Minami is a girl who has never cried in her life. She's awkward with her feelings, and she carries a camcorder to film everything she likes. Because of her quirks, she's labeled as a freak and alienated by her classmates.
Satoru is her classmate and a recently retired teen actor who understands her. They quickly become friends, but what Minami doesn't know is that Satoru is hiding his secret from the world...
The included one shots: "Kira-fuwa Kiss" and "Kira-fuwa Xmas" have not been translated.
Note: The one shot Blue Wings (Ao no Tsubasa) from HAL takes place before this. In that story, Satoru's first name is different because the translations were done by different groups and 暁 can be read as Akira or Satoru.

Side notes: This is considered as a sequel for HAL but it's not totally necessary to read it first though it could be good to check out the one shot that is in the HAL. The art is what I call "typical shoujo" with clean art style and certain looks on the character. Although the start of the manga is too stereotypical and filled with clihéches that it almost makes one turn away from it. Still if you can bear a moment of that (for me it took more than 20 pages) you can start really enjoy the flow of the story. And just in case, do get some tissues close to you in case that this makes you teary eyed.
