Romance no Hakoniwa

Masataka resides in a dorm at an arts and crafts vocational school, working on a project inspired by another student's style. He is trying to complete a piece titled "miniature-garden romance," but finds himself creatively blocked. His roommate, Hiromi Kunitachi, whose artwork is both geometric and expressive, greatly influences him. Hiromi's calm, enigmatic presence and evident determination intrigue Masataka. The collection includes the title piece and three additional stories, such as "The Teacher's Botany" and "Behind the Magic," offering insight into a poetic universe crafted by the author.
