Summary - English

Saeki Sayaka has always been an old soul–serious and reserved, preferring to focus on her studies rather than make friends. Until, that is, a romantic confession from another girl in middle school turns her carefully ordered world upside down. Though none of her classes have prepared her for this, Saeki must now come to terms with her sexuality in this gentle, coming-of-age novel about grappling with first love, growing up, and relating to other people.

Why are you nominating this book: I’m making my way through やがて君になる (series) | L23 and bought the three LN set of these books. I’m a bad book hoarder, so I’d love to read these in book club to actually read them. But beyond that, the manga is a cute (although slow) slice of life and mostly sweet, so I’d expect the same from the LNs.
