The Love I Whisper to a Girl in Love Needs Only Thirty-One Syllables

The thirty-one syllables she writes are words of love overflowing with affection. This is a love story about a sweet youth spent with a girl who dreams of love. High school student Ootani Santa visits the library in search of a new hobby, where he meets Suzukaze Sukui, a girl dressed in a way that makes her stand out from the crowd. After learning that Sukui is skilled at writing tanka poetry, Santa becomes her disciple and begins learning how to compose poems from her. “Are thirty-one syllables really enough?” “I’ll allow it—as long as they carry a hundred thousand words’ worth of feelings.” As Santa grows day by day, pouring his hidden feelings into his poetry, Sukui finds herself drawn to him. Responding to his verses by weaving her own emotions into tanka, she gradually closes the distance between them. “Sukui will accept even her shy senpai, you know.” A sweet love story spun from thirty-one syllables—a tale of youth with a girl who longs for love.
