Mascara Blues

A compilation of three standalone stories by Sakisaka Io. In the first, Mugino is a high school girl who becomes intensely infatuated with boys but quickly loses interest when they return her feelings. The second follows Tsuda, who spills her belongings on the street and is helped by a stranger she never saw or thanked, and has since been trying to find him without success. The third centers on Hikaru, who meets a hair-stylist student named Mashima after he offers to cut his hair for free. Despite warnings from friends about his reputation, Hikaru sees Mashima again and feels drawn to him, questioning whether he can trust him with personal matters.
