Summary

"With a carefree outlook on life, Hiroto knows better than anyone that slowing down is sometimes the best way to move forward. At 29 years old, carefree Hiroto Ikuta doesn't have a girlfriend, a full-time job, or a plan for the future--and he couldn't be happier. Hiroto's breezy attitude isn't easy for everyone to understand, though. In a world filled with anxiety, confusion, and grief, Hiroto and the people who surround him are all just doing their best to figure out this thing called life. Determined to make the most of their summer, Natsumi and the gang have decided to head off on a road trip. But when Yamada's new friend unexpectedly tags along, sparks fly between him and Natsumi in more ways than one! Meanwhile, Yomogi has her own dilemma to deal with when, after a romantic date with Ishikawa, she realizes that she might have feelings for someone else..." --
