As spring break begins, a boy named Kei—who calls Mahiru “big sister”—appears before Mahiru and Amane.
Shaken and hurt by an unexpected truth, Mahiru struggles to cope, while Amane steps in to uncover the secrets of her family in her place.

Determined to cherish her pain as his own and protect her for the rest of his life, Amane makes a heartfelt vow.

Meanwhile, Kei’s arrival forces Mahiru to confront her mother once more, leading her to reexamine the loneliness she has long carried.

With Amane’s unwavering support giving her warmth and courage, Mahiru resolves to face her past memories at last…

A sweet and tender love story with an adorable next-door neighbor, filled with gentle, frustratingly slow romance.

1st place: Cosmic Princess Kaguya!

An overworked, high-spec high school girl × a high-energy Princess Kaguya × a virtual idol!?

A little way into the future.
Iroha Sakayori, an overworked, ultra-capable high school girl living alone to focus on getting into the University of Tokyo, is on her way home one day when she finds a mysterious baby—emerging from a rainbow-glowing “gaming utility pole”!

But that baby rapidly grows up right before her eyes, turning into a spoiled girl who absolutely adores Iroha!
Claiming she came from the moon, the girl is named “Kaguya” by Iroha.
However, once Kaguya learns how The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter ends, she makes a bold declaration—

“I’m going to make it a happy ending. No matter what!”

And then, for some reason, she sets her sights on becoming a top idol in Japan’s largest virtual world, “Tsukuyomi”…!?
