This new shoujo follows a girl and her four childhood friends during spring 2020 as their feelings for each other slowly change. Starting out with a terrible birthday in 2030, Mizuha reflects back on ten years ago when she had another terrible birthday, one that resulted in her childhood friend Kizuki confessing feelings for her. Over the course of the manga, the mounting anxiety of competitions getting canceled and dreams being dashed somehow makes the five friends' feelings and their springtime youth shine brighter.
I thought it was really interesting to have a romance story set during the start of the pandemic. I loved the author's intention, but something about the character design and plot ended up falling slightly flat for me. I think if you're someone who enjoys sweet shoujo with a bit of a reverse harem, you'll most likely enjoy this quick read without a problem.
