Nigeru Natsu

A series of brief narratives centers on Chihaya, who is fond of Morisaki. She struggles with the declining success of the flower arranging school she inherited from her father. Her step-mother pressures her to marry into a different school to save it. Chihaya refuses and flees, but is later found by Morisaki. Refusing to return home, she spends the summer at his residence, aware of the awkwardness of the situation. Morisaki, however, appears to be oblivious to it.
