Episode 5 Story

After the class trip ends, the students prepare for the all-grade Double Dutch Tournament. Sae Iwata and Koki Kamishiro are assigned as the rope turners, and Sae tries hard not to become overly conscious of Kamishiro despite unexpected moments between them.

However, when class practice begins, Mio Kagawa’s mistakes start to stand out, causing frustration among her classmates and slowing down their progress. Later that day, Sae finds Kagawa secretly practising double dutch alone behind the school building.

Introduction

From Kazune Kawahara, author of My Love Story!!, High School Debut, and Sensei!, all adapted into various media comes her latest work.

Sae Iwata, a girl a little sturdier than average, and Koki Kamishiro, a delicate boy.

Back in elementary school, Sae fell in love at first sight with Kamishiro’s smile.

Though once small and frail, by the time he entered middle school, Koki had grown into a refreshing, handsome young man and drifted out of her reach.

Then, during their final middle school sports festival, they are paired together, and Sakue’s long-buried first love begins to stir again.

No matter how far away you seem, my shining star will always be you.

Thus begins a sparkling story of first love!
