Kataomoi no Mukougawa

This collection follows several girls as they navigate crushes, new attractions, and the uncertainty of young love. In the title story, Azusa falls for a boy she knows is already in love with someone else, and wonders what she can do about her feelings. In other stories, restless Kako bets on falling for the next boy to enter a doorway; convenience-store worker Miyuki is pursued by a cute high-school student she has just met; and tomboy Chiaki hopes a classmate will see her as more than a friend. In the final story, Hyori reluctantly manages her father’s baseball club, where she enjoys seeing her friend Yoshimura but grows close to pitcher Sumida-senpai, leaving Yoshimura unhappy.
