Yamato wa Koi no Mahoroba

やまとは恋のまほろば

by Mio Hamatani

First-year university student Honoka feels intimidated and left out by her friends who have pulled off their college debuts. After a certain incident, she finds herself drawn to Iida-kun, a classmate from her 'spiritual oasis', the Ancient Research Club (aka 'Koken'), and rapidly grows closer to her upperclassman, Kanie-san!? Honoka, who tormented herself for being unremarkable, gradually grows through her time in Koken. A clumsy and endearing love story brought about by ancient tombs.
