A few
words from the artist
On the

"I wanted to convey the warmth of the work and those awkward but sincere
feelings, so I sang with all my heart. It's the first time I've performed an

I hope you enjoy the song while still feeling the echo of the story!"

Synopsis
of My Awkward Senpai
The story
follows Kannawa-senpai, a young woman who, although she has many
qualities, subtlety is not one of them. His life changes when he meets Kamegawa,
his new kouhai: charming, a little nerdy, and easy to get along with. Between
misunderstandings and awkward moments, she will begin to discover feelings that
she does not know how to handle.
