Natsu ni Mebuku wa Koi no Oto

Also known as: 夏に芽吹くは恋の音

by Maumi Shiina

During my second year of high school, a transfer student, Yamauchi, arrived in my class. Although he appeared to be an ordinary guy, he was unexpectedly anti-social! I wanted him to quickly get along with the rest of the class, so I called out to him, but things didn't go as I wanted no matter how I tried. “That’s how it is…”, I thought. But out of the blue, Yamauchi smiled at me and since then I couldn’t get it out of my mind. "Hey, Yamauchi… can you smile for me once more?"
