Aoko is a young woman who works in a pottery workshop in the town of Hasami. Rather jovial by nature, she gets along very well with her colleagues, except for Tatsuki, the newcomer who doesn't seem to want to fit in. Despite their differences, Aoko and Tatsuki will have to learn to work together. But even though Tatsuki's gradually opening up, Aoko feels there's something he wants to keep secret... Note: Chapter count includes two bonus chapters.
