Yumemiru Synopsis
Aika Natsukawa is a very beautiful girl whom Wataru Sajou had fallen in love with. He approaches her without shame, despite how much he pines for her. That is until he became insecure, and believed that he is actually not enough for someone like her. He then distanced himself from Aika, which she notices. This is because she happens to reciprocate Wataru’s feelings too. Wataru’s distance led Aika to think that he may have started hating her. This conclusion led to a rollercoaster of emotions and misunderstandings between the two.
Watch the teaser here:
The teaser showed Wataru talking to Aika willingly, although the latter seemed embarrassed about it. Aika is the type who could be a tsundere who does not show her true feelings on the get-go, but her blush gives it away. As they navigate their way through their feelings, they get to encounter more people along the way. At the same time, they struggle to admit their feelings for one another.
