KURAMOCHI Fusako
The story tells of love caught in a circle of a bad boy and an honor student, amnesia, an Internet message board, love at first sight, layoffs, Japanese archery, and a mother’s love. Staged around Hanazono station and its surrounding town, the central character changes from one episode to another, evolving in a human drama.
