First in Takanaga Hinako's Kimi ga Koi series, which continues with the second installment Kimi ga Koi ni Oboreru and ends with Kimi ga Koi ni Midareru. After a long absence from competitive archery, brought on by the agitation of his unrequited love for Reiichirou, Haru finds himself back in familiar territory as the student adviser of the archery club at the high school where he teaches when he comes across the younger brother of his foresworn love, Tsukasa. Tsukasa has been nursing a secret infatuation with Haru for years, and with Reiichirou out of the picture, uses Haru's proximity to press his advantage. What happens when Reiichirou returns? An emotionally moving romance filled with many poignant and dramatic moments and some rather nice art work.
