Hatsukoi Gummi Choco Pine

Cute, straightforward, and sparkling stories! This is a collection of one-shots by a very talented rookie, Andou-sensei! The title story is about a little girl who played "janken" (rock-paper-scissors) on the stairs with her childhood friend. Their love deepened and the relationship changed over the years as they went up and down the stairs.... The changing relationship is very realistic and adorable! The other four stories in the collection are cute and touching love stories as well!
