Takahashi from the Bike Shop Vol. 02
30-year-old Hanno Tomoko, or Panko for short, is troubled by her inability to voice her true feelings—whether it’s at work or in private. Ever since she and Ryouhei, the kind-hearted delinquent, first kissed they’ve been spending more time together, but…does that mean they’re dating? Yamamoto, a colleague that previously asked Panko out on a date, wonders if “that delinquent” is just taking advantage of her, bringing up the last thing she wants to hear from him at that moment.

In fact, the true feelings that she can’t usually say she can talk to him.
