"I want to eat Asahina-san's bento, so would you please go out with me?"
Arisa thought the strange confession was a bad joke at first, so she angrily rejected him.

One day, however, Arisa discovers Seiya's secret that he can't tell anyone.
Where will their relationship go, and why is Seiya attracted to Arisa's bento?
A beautiful, bittersweet coming-of-age romance story.
