Brief Description (quoted from Wikipedia):
Sakuya Shiina is the president of a star-gazing club at her high school.
On her eighteeth birthday, she receives a pink dress from Chihiro, a handsome and mysterious boy around her age. She initially believes that Chihiro is a friend of Kanade, her guardian, but she later learns that Kanade had invited him to her birthday party thinking that he was her boyfriend. Kanade then becomes offended by what he perceives as trickery, but Sakuya becomes even more intrigued by Chihiro.
Later on in the story, Sakuya accidentally meets Chihiro again, and during a discussion about the stars in which Sakuya says that the star Alphard (the brightest star in the constellation Hydra) is her favorite, Chihiro suddenly exclaims that he hates Sakuya.
Thinking that she no longer will be able to see Chihiro anymore as he claimed that he hates her, Sakuya was surprised to see Chihiro in her school as a transfer student one day. Even worse, Chihiro is in the same class as her.
How is she gonna to face Chihiro in the future??
Characters:
Sakuya Shiina (サクヤ)
The main girl who is the president of the star gazing club. Fell in love with Chihiro after their first meeting.
Chihiro (千広/チヒロ)
A mysterious guy who turned up at Sakuya birthday party and gave her a pink dress as a present. Later on became a transfer student, Chihiro Aoi in the same school as Sakuya Shiina. Feelings for Sakuya Shiina... hatre or love??
Kanade (奏)
Sakuya Shiina's guardian. Outsiders always gossip behind his back saying he is a lazy bum and making Sakuya Shiina to work part time to support him.
Yuuri Murakami (優里/ユウリ)
One of Sakuya Shiina's best friend. He apparently has some vague romantic feelings for Sakuya as it is often hinted at that he sees her as more that just a friend and blushes furiously around her and he is very protective of her. Yuuri is short for his age and is sensitive about that, but he is still excellent at sports.
Hijiri Honjou (本条 聖)
Another Sakuya Shiina's best friend. Also the class president. She can be quite intimidating, whom you wouldn't want to mess around with her. Often argue with Yuuri.
...My say...
Love the story! Very mysterious Chihiro and very cute Sakuya! Just can't wait to find out more about Chihiro's real identity and what is his feeling for Sakuya. I'm always looking forward to the development of the story every time a new chapter is released online!!
My Rating: ★★★★★
I Read from: Read online/
My Reading Status: Read Chapter 13 (English scanlation version)
My Summary:
Chapter 1 - Its Sakuya Shiina's birthday and they have a special guest (Chihiro) for her party who is actually a complete stranger for both Sakuya and Kanade!
Chapter 2 - Sakuya Shiina hopes to see Chihiro again... so she asked Yuuri and Hijiri to help to find out his whereabout, but to no avail.
Chapter 3 - Sakuya and her only 2 members, Yuuri and Hijiri had their star gazing activity. After that, Sakuya went to take the train home alone. And on one passing train, she spotted Chihiro! She ran after the train, and at the next station, Chihiro was there waiting for her.
Chapter 4 - Sakuya and Chihiro seemed to be having quite a nice conversation initially and all of a sudden, Chihiro exclaimed that he hates her and ran off. Leaving a devastated Sakuya behind. She now finally realised the feeling she had for him was love.
Chapter 5 - After being rejected by Chihiro, Sakuya was feeling quite depressed for some time. And out of nowhere, Chihiro appeared in her school as a transfer student.
Chapter 6 - Chihiro warned Sakuya not to go near him and also to pretend not to know each other. Sakuya tried to return the dress to Chihiro but he just threw it out of the window. Sakuya jumped out of the window and retrieved it back saying if he doesn't want it back, then she shall keep it.
Chapter 7 - Its been a few days ever since Chihiro transferred to the school. Hijiri invited Chihiro to join them for lunch and told him about the presentation which Sakuya had to share in front of everyone regarding their stars gazing club. Hijiri asked Chihiro to come and listen to Sakuya's presentation and Chihiro promised to come. Sakuya and Chihiro met at the train station on the way home, but Chihiro is still treating her coldly.
Chapter 8 - Sakuya's club presentation turned out quite badly, with the listeners trying to make fun of her club. Sakuya was stunned but Chihiro suddenly ran up to her and hugged her, consoling her not to be afraid.
Chapter 9 - Hijiri appeared to be enjoying seeing Sakuya doing dumb things and get laughed at. Yuuri beat up those guys who made Sakuya had a hard time at the club presentation. Sakuya self proclaimed that Chihiro is recognised as their new member of the star gazing club. Forced, but with no choice, Chihiro joined the club.
Chapter 10 - The guy who made fun of Sakuya's club presentation apologised to her. It was decided that the star gazing club will be having their 1st 4 member activity the following day at the usual park. Chihiro told her off about she is overconcern about him and will dislike her so she have to stop it. Thinking she is now causing trouble for Chihiro, she apologised and will not disturb him anymore. Seeing her getting upset, Chihiro gave in and tell her its ok for her to continue whatever she is doing, but he won't be nice to her.
Chapter 11 - Very unfortunately, on the day for their activity, it rained. But they still have their star gazing activity indoor, which is at Hijiri's house. Hijiri made Chihiro to ask Sakuya to guide him to her house. Hijiri had a planetarium for family use so they could view the stars as well inside her house. A slip of the tongue let Kanade found out that Sakuya is still seeing Chihiro.
Chapter 12 - Kanade seems angry about Chihiro. Hijiri asked her servant, Saki, to go Tokyo to dig up some juicy info regarding Chihiro. Sakuya apologised to Chihiro for spilling out about him to Kanade but Chihiro said its ok as he was intending to talk to him some other time also. Sakuya was feeling gloomy because of the upcoming test. If she fails, she have to go back to school for extra lessons during the summer holidays, but after hearing Chihiro promised that he will go over to her house to explain things to Kanade, she was again in good mood.
Chapter 13 - Chihiro did not kept his promise about going to Sakuya's house to see Kanade, and when Sakuya confront him, he denied promising that he will go over and asked her not to speak to him in places where other people can see them. Sakuya was alone the class where she suddenly think about some depressing stuffs and the moment she lifted up her head, she saw Chihiro sitting in front of her waiting for her. Chihiro is here to talk about the summer holiday club camp which she forgotten to mention to him. Sakuya thought that Chihiro will refuse to turn up but in actual fact, he was here to remind her not to forget to inform him the date when its confirmed and he will try to keep himself free for the camp. The next day was a Sunday and Sakuya overslept. Its was very shocking as she woke up finding both Kanade and Chihiro doing household chores together!
