Skip and Loafer

Mitsumi Iwakura leaves her quiet hometown for a prestigious Tokyo high school, convinced that the carefully planned path she’s drawn for herself will lead to a future where she can help improve Japan. Confident and earnest, she expects her new life in the city to unfold without a hitch.

Reality hits immediately when Mitsumi gets lost and runs late on her very first day. She’s saved from facing it alone after meeting fellow first-year Sousuke Shima, who’s also struggling to find his way, and the two head to school together. Even after arriving, Mitsumi’s nerves and missteps earn her an awkward start with her classmates—but her growing connection with Sousuke begins to draw attention, setting the stage for new relationships to form in the unfamiliar bustle of Tokyo.
