Plot Concept: Nanako is a girl who can only communicate what she wants to say by using senryū, a poetry style similar to haiku more focused on humor. Eiji is an intimidating but kind boy who is a member of the school literature club. The manga tells the story of the pair’s cheerful everyday interactions through 17 syllables.
