Sakura Saku Vol. 04

Sakura Saku Vol. 04

The bud of bittersweet first love takes bloom!

A mysterious boy comes to Saku Fujigaya’s rescue when she falls ill on a train, but he leaves before she can thank him. After this experience, Saku never ignores strangers in need of help to emulate the boy who helped her.

Now that Saku knows Kotono might like Haruki too, she doesn’t know what to do. Distressed, Saku is embraced by Iryu, who helps hide her from prying eyes. Saku discovers that Iryu’s cold, blunt manner conceals surprising kindness, and she gradually begins to warm to him…

During her first day of high school, Saku thinks she hears someone calling her name, only to realize they are looking for a Sakura—the same name as that of her mysterious savior.
