Actually a collection of eight different stories. Each volume is its own story, centered around a girl named Tsubomi at the late end of elementary school, gradually experiencing various aspects of growing up and falling in love for the first time, while her life is changed by some manner of supernatural or sci-fi situation. Every volume is different, but each includes a great deal of discussion on ways girls' and boys' bodies change, the experience of first love, and the dangers of older predators. Includes astral projection, aliens, magic pens that bring drawings to life, more astral projection, time travel, body swapping, ... a girl haunted by a boy, and an android.

If you're a fan of puppy love, this will certainly be a fun read. Each volume is different, so whatever type of love story you want you should find something, whether you want one with a definitive ending or an uncertain one, love triangles or a single-target romance, strangers or childhood friends. Just be forewarned that, as a story that's strongly focused on growing up, you will inevitably also encounter a great deal of discussion of all aspects of puberty along with the love story.

this has alight an innocent feeling, if you are addicted to action, mystery, or are a drama lama then this will bore you so much that your brain will melt out your ears. It is about 5th graders and how they perceive and interact with the new changes in there bodies, attraction to others and their mother having a baby. I think writing this type of story takes talent. It is hard for an adult to realistically write young characters, but i feel that this author has. The scenarios and reactions were believable but felt fresh. and Saya's character really intrigued me, it was unexpected ... but made me feel warm. It seemed that there were two stories. The second is not done, but it manages to have an alien, bring up a dead twin, and still have the same feel. I am very fond of this second story because I love the importance of twins and siblings and I also love childhood friendships where both parties tease the other. Over all I found this enjoyable and warming.
