Abstract

We are bees. We call upon flowers for nectar.

Sakura is frustrated with Komatsu, who has no confidence in himself and is always trying to figure out what the other person wants. Small discrepancies and misunderstandings soon become big gaps. Then Sakura's ex-boyfriend Endo and Miki, who lives for the moment, join in and fill the gaps in their hearts... This is the conclusion of the love story between a goddess and her servant, where emotions intersect intensely and in complex ways!

Everyone has gone through those complicated days. Those days when you couldn't help but worry about how others see you. The story is set in Tokyo in the 2000s. High school life is rife with a "school caste system" based on lookism. It's a harsh world where being popular or not is everything. This is the story of how an unattractive guy named "Komatsu" falls in love with "Sakura", the popular girl in his class, and grows as a man and as a person. When it was serialized, it was sometimes called the "popularity bible" and the "male version of Happy Mania."

A storm of empathy may well arise among readers currently living the life of a student. And how will that era affect readers who have grown up over time? This masterpiece, which depicts the "inexhaustible emotional intricacies" of high school romance, is revived as a complete edition (4 volumes) with the beautiful color pages from the serialization.
