A love
story in times of uncertainty
The plot
centers on Mizuha, a girl who celebrates her disastrous seventeenth
birthday in the middle of a pandemic. His father forgets him, the boy he likes
shows no interest and his social life is interrupted by a mysterious virus.
However, everything changes when her childhood friend confesses his feelings to
her, forcing her to rethink what love really means in such a complicated stage.
The play explores how young people deal with romance and friendship in
times of crisis, keeping hope alive despite uncertainty.
Career
and publication
The manga
began serialization in Kodansha's Nakayoshi magazine
in October 2020. In the international market, Kodansha USA Publishing launched
the ninth volume in digital format in English on February 25 and
is scheduled for physical release on December 30.
From
paper to screen
The
popularity of the series led to it receiving an anime adaptation for
television, released on January 9. The production was broadcast
globally through Crunchyroll, which also offers an English
dub. Given the success of the first season, it has already been
confirmed that the anime will have a second season, scheduled to
premiere next year.
