Skip and Loafer Vol. 07
Spring has sprung, and Mitsumi and company have finally become second years! The fresh spring breeze carries a lot of firsts for the gang—different classes, encounters with new first-year students, and more. But even when the sailing isn’t quite smooth, they can count on Mitsumi to remind them of what’s important—when you’re a fresh-faced kid in high school, every day feels like a miracle!
