by Io Sakisaka

A collection of one-shots by Sakisaka Io. 1. Mascara Blues (マスカラ ブルース) Mugino is a normal high school girl who is extremely excited about love and is in the constant search for it. But it seems that no matter how obsessed she is with a guy, the moment the feeling is reciprocated, she falls right back out of love. Will she ever be able to break the cycle? 2. Romance no Rinkaku (ロマンスの輪郭) When commuting to school one day, Tsuda-san tripped and spilled the entire contents of her bag on the street in front of the bus. Flustered and embarrassed, she didn't catch a glimpse of the kind person who helped her gather her things, nor did she even thank him. Feeling guilty ever since, she's tried to find him, but with no luck so far... 3. Watashi ga Watashi de Aru Tame ni: Nagai Yume (私が私であるためにー長い夢ー) Hikaru first met Mashima-san, a hair-stylist student, when he ran into her on the street and offered to cut Hikaru's hair for free. Hikaru's friends warned that hair-stylists are notorious players, but Hikaru meets Mashima-san again anyway and feels even more attracted to him. Can Hikaru trust Mashima-san enough to tell him everything?
