Life can be so wonderful as terrible.

And it's precisely in the hospital that fate seems to provide her a new beginning, she'll know people who would show her a different meaning of life, above all a boy her own age in a terminal illness ...Can hope germinate even in the coldest of winters?

From Hanashi:

The start of high school life. To the girls, that also meant the start of their love lives. For brand new first year student, Takahashi Nanami (Nana for short), it was no different... She happens to end up in the same class as the incredibly popular Yano Motoharu, who rumors say that two thirds of all the girls are guaranteed to fall in love with. But will that hold true for Nana, who says that if she had to choose between like or dislike, she'd say she dislikes him!?
