Plot

Kotaro Azumi and Akane Mizuno became third year students at junior high school and are classmates for the first time.

As their final year at junior high school progresses, the group overcome their challenges to mature and become aware of changes in themselves.

Other meanings of Tsuki ga Kirei

While directly translated as "The Moon is Beautiful", the phrase "Tsuki ga Kirei Desu ne." (月が綺麗ですね。, lit. "The Moon is Beautiful, Isn't it?") is a famous Japanese way to say "I love you". The phrase was translated by Meiji-era novelist and teacher Natsume Sōseki since he believed that two people in love do not need direct words to convey their feelings.[11][12]
