Series Synopsis
Hana Ichinose (voiced by Reina Kondo) is thrilled to finally be starting high school. Although such a sentiment is not uncommon for many first years, for Hana, she should be a second year at this point in her life.
Due to an unforeseen complication, Hana was unable to take her entrance exams, and thus, was unable to move onward with her middle school friends. For the past year, she has been diligently preparing to make up the time she has lost.
Sadly, the unfortunate thing about time is, once it passes, it doesn’t come back. Hana will have to spend the rest of her high school days slightly behind. However, this will only become a setback if she allows it to be one.
Hana isn’t starting late, she is merely starting now.
Wishful thinking aside, Hana can’t get over how awkward her situation is. She does want to make new friends, but she isn’t sure how people will react to her lost year. After all, to her classmates, Hana should be their senior.
For Hana, in the end, she needs to decide: Does that matter?
