After a cute and trope-filled start with yukatas worn at a festival and a person with a bad cold getting TLC, the story takes a dark turn. During a visit to her hometown, Asako meets one of the childhood bullies who helped create her self-consciousness and anxiety about her sweating so long ago, kicking off a new spiral that heads toward depression. What will Kotaro do when he sniffs out the trouble?

It's heartbreaking to see such suffering in a person who has grown so much and so lovely over the course of the series. ( )
