SWEEPING THE CLOUDS AWAY

Mitsumi’s making the most of her sun-drenched summer vacation, surrounded by cherished friends and family. Whether pondering the prospect of romance or just hanging out, she only has one wish—to have a great time with the people she cares about!

As school bells toll the end of summer break, waves are already roiling on the horizon…but nothing can dim the gleam of these shining school days.

Series Overview: Excellent student Iwakura Mitsumi has always dreamt about leaving her small town, going to a prestigious university, and making positive change in the world. But she’s so focused on reaching her goals that she’s not prepared for the very different (and overwhelming) city life that awaits her in a Tokyo high school. Luckily, she makes fast friends with Shima Sousuke, a handsome classmate who’s as laid-back as she is over-prepared. Can this naive country girl make it big in Tokyo with Sousuke by her side? This charming manga was nominated for the 2020 Manga Taisho Award and is sure to skip its way into your heart.
