A Star Brighter Than the Sun, Vol. 2

You don't have to be a star to shine.

Sae has always been taller and stronger than the average girl. Koki used to be smaller and weaker than the average boy. But now that he's in high school, he's tall and super popular! Will their childhood friendship rekindle...and maybe develop into something more?

Now that Sae knows Koki has a crush on someone, she tries to transform her romantic feelings for him into platonic ones. Luckily, there are lots of school activities to distract her, from a field trip in the mountains to a jump rope tournament to an English-language theater festival. But when a texting disaster reveals to Koki that Sae has a crush on someone too, will she finally confess her feelings...?
