Tenshi ni Naranakya
天使にならなきゃ―SENSITIVE SEISHUN GRAFFITI
A collection of six short stories that explore the many facets of love and longing. In one tale, a waiter takes in a freeloader who claims to have amnesia. In another, a man waits in a park, reflecting on past conversations with his beloved, hoping for an answer that will decide his next step.
Other stories delve into a love triangle within the Track & Field Club, where a geeky four-eyed student competes with a handsome athlete for the same girl. A different story involves a secret crush and an ex-wife who is not as oblivious as she seems. A student pianist at a bar receives an unusual request from a frequent patron, while another character nurses an unrequited crush on a senior. Each story captures a different moment of romantic uncertainty and the quiet emotions that define them.
