Middle school left Uka Ishimori with nothing but scars—to the point where she’s forgotten how to laugh or cry or even say “hello.” But a chance reencounter with a boy with lemon-colored hair invigorates her, giving her hope that maybe, just maybe, life can be that much sweeter if she finally reaches out for help.

In addition to the anime, the manga was adapted into a live-action film in 2021. Don’t miss out on the world of “Honey Lemon Soda”!
