Saku-chan to Nozomi-kun

Saku-chan to Nozomi-kun

Finished

さくちゃんとのぞみくん

As a child, Saku Onodera dressed as her deceased older brother to comfort her grieving mother, living as a boy until the end of elementary school. Her classmate, Nozomi Nishioka, grew his hair long to fulfill his mother's desire for a daughter, making him a target for bullying.

Now entering adolescence, Saku has stopped her disguise, while Nozomi has cut his hair. A tentative friendship forms between them, born from shared, unspoken burdens from their pasts. This connection soon deepens into Saku's first love, a bittersweet and confusing emotion that leads to a painful confession and an unexpected rejection, leaving their future together uncertain.
