A quiet, unassuming girl with an otaku streak—Minami—has become a target of a delinquent group at school. One day, they force an unreasonable demand on her— “Cut that long hair.” Her long hair, something she has always cherished, is the one thing that lets her feel like herself. Cornered, with nowhere left to run, the moment everything seems about to break— a classmate, Sakaguchi, happens to witness it. After school, a simple, casual conversation begins. Two people who should have never crossed paths slowly begin to close the distance between them— “If it were my preference… would you cut it?” Sakaguchi refuses to remain just a bystander, and Minami, who was once the one being forced to cut— This is a clumsy yet sincere coming-of-age story about something that was almost taken away. 61page
