Ao ni Koubou

Four short stories explore themes of personal meaning and human connection. In the first, an apathetic teacher and a student care for a baby bird. In the second, a man is only seen by a girl during rainy days when he visits his girlfriend. The third follows a girl struggling with social norms and a boy who seems to understand her despite her deceptions. Lastly, a cheerful teenager supports a younger boy during a difficult time, treating the situation as a game.
