Story

edit

The story focuses on the cold and distant seventeen-year-old Nanaka Kirisato, a girl who only cares about studying and getting accepted into a good college. Her childhood friend Nenji Nagihara does not really care about school and often gets into fights. At the start of the story, Nanaka berates Nenji for fighting and tells him that he needs to grow up. After Nenji tells her that he never wants to see her face again, Nanaka is devastated but then falls down a flight of stairs. She loses her memories and suffers from regression, acting like she is six years old. She also thinks that Nenji made a wish to become an adult just like her. Nenji ends up having to watch over her as she goes through high school, which causes trouble and comedic situations.[1]
