First love doesn’t always follow the path you expect.

Suzume Yosano leaves her quiet countryside home to start a new life in Tokyo, where everything feels unfamiliar and overwhelming. As she adjusts to city life and a new school, she finds herself drawn to her kind but distant teacher—and later, to a classmate who offers a different kind of warmth. Caught between two very different connections, Suzume must navigate first love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. From Mika Yamamori, Daytime Shooting Star is a heartfelt shojo romance about growing up and finding where you truly belong.
