Uesugi wants to stop being a Girl: Story
The protagonist of the manga, which was first published in Ciao in January 2021, is a middle school student named Airi who is not particularly good at learning the material.
Following the discovery of a mystery picture at school, she finds herself embroiled in an event.
The “first season” of the Sorairo Memorial manga (The way we were, depicted right) was concluded by Yabuuchi in October of 2020, and the continuous serial began in December of the same year in the Ciao Deluxe magazine.
It was in February of 2020 that Yabuuchi first published the comic in Ciao.
The third collected book volume of the manga was released by Shogakukan on February 26.
The Mizuiro Jidai and Naisho no Tsubomi manga that Yabuuchi created in the past served as the basis for a television anime series in 1996 and an original video animation series in 2008, respectively.
