Story

A love that will never be returned. A lonely love. An unrequited love.
Are those really all that beautiful?

Hanabi Yasuraoka--a second-year in high school--is painfully in love with someone who will never return her feelings. She seeks the warmth of another person, hurting herself and someone precious to her in the process. This is a pure yet twisted love story.

Characters

	Hanabi Yasuraoka Voice: Chika Anzai A 17-year old girl in her second year of high school. She's an honor student with such good grades that she is able to attend the school's special classes. She also has a more family-oriented side to her, and can even cook. She has an earnest and honest personality.
	Mugi Awaya Voice: Nobunaga Shimazaki A boy who attends the same school as Hanabi with brightly-colored, smooth hair. He didn't know Hanabi at all until one fateful day...
	Sanae Ebato Voice: Haruka Tomatsu Hanabi's friend who was classmates with her during their first year of high school, but ended up being in different classes in their second. Despite this, they still get along very well and eat lunch together.
	Noriko Kamomebata Voice: Shiori Izawa Mugi's childhood friend who has a crush on him, and even goes so far as to call him "Prince." She hates being called by her real name, and instead calls herself "Moka," meaning "the cutest" in Japanese.
	Narumi Kanai Voice: Kenji Nojima The teacher in charge of Hanabi's class who is also the Language teacher. Because he has been around Hanabi since she was very young, she calls him "Big Brother."
	Akane Minagawa Voice: Aki Toyosaki The Music teacher at the school Hanabi and Mugi attend. She is popular amongst students thanks to her polished appearance and personality. She was also Mugi's personal tutor when he was in middle school, leading her to call him "Mugi-chan."
