Square Enix Manga & Books licensed the manga and explains the plot as follows:

One lonely, gloomy fifth-grade girl is the target of her classmates’ relentless bullying and teasing—that is until a new kid arrives on the scene.

Friendly Takada is as clueless as he is well-meaning, but somehow he possesses the magic ability to start drawing “Grim Reaper” Nishimura out of her shell.

As the elementary schoolers experience all the fun of a childhood summer together—from going to the pool to picking sunflowers to watch fireworks—an unusual friendship blossoms!
