UNDER THE SAKURA TREE

Aika never asked for too much - just a place where she wouldn't feel invisible.

When she moves into a new hostel for the first time, her life quietly begins to change. Beneath blooming sakura trees, she meets Miyu - a sharp, bossy girl who hides a surprisingly warm heart - and three boys who each bring a different shade into her world: Haru, the loud chaos; Souta, the silent comfort; and Ren, whose calm smile feels strangely familiar.

Between new friendships, unexpected emotions, late-night rooftops, and hidden insecurities, Aika slowly learns that starting over isn't as scary as she thought.

But peace never lasts forever.
New bonds will be tested. Old wounds will return.
And under the falling petals, Aika must decide who she truly wants to become.

🌸 A soft, emotional story about friendship, healing, and finding your place in a world that once felt too big.
