Slow Start

Synopsis: Hana Ichinose, a 17 -year high school student who is not only introverted but also insecure and shy, has just moved and will be attending a new school. To make her situation harder, Hana is a "slow start," which means she has lost a year and cares about watching a class where everyone is younger than her.

During her introduction, the teacher reveals that it is Hana's birthday, which gives her the starting point to meet three of her classmates: Tamate Momochi, a charismatic and outgoing girl; Kanmuri Sengoku, who is shy and small; and the popular and beautiful Eiko Tokura. Not wanting to lose the chance to make new friends, Hana's interactions with these three mark the beginning of some beautiful relationships that will change your life.
