“Actually, I like your unreliable side.”
Subaru, in line to be the next captain of the archery club, always finds herself at a loss when dealing with the junior boy Mikumo, the club’s problem child. Subaru is a serious person who always tries to meet the expectations of other people, but she tends to push herself too hard as a result. Those are the times when she is saved by Mikumo’s easygoing nature and chill vibes. This is the start of a sweet love story where the serious girl becomes smitten by the laid-back boy.
