## Description
"Spring… Every spring I remember Mom hugging me in the park as I stared at the blooming sakura trees over her shoulder…"

A time when the transient flowers slowly shed their petals, spring has come once again, and is a season filled with memories for Matsubayashi Asami who starts her fourth year at university.

Aware of her mother’s struggles during the divorce thirteen years ago, she is determined to graduate smoothly to finally enter the workforce and repay her mother who raised her single-handedly.

But love is unpredictable, and time and time again, her heart is moved. Through these experiences, will her cynical attitude toward love and marriage change for the better or will it break her further…?

What is forgiveness to her…?

Kokorogawari, a human drama story.

## Characters
### Matsubayashi Asami
Touzaka University 4th Year, Literature Major, Art Club member.

"Love, if it even exists, will decay... And when it does, what's left?"

Due to being singlehandedly raised by her mother, Asami has a cynical opinion of love and marriage. She believes that everything can be done without a man in the house. A strong person, but occasionally negative and untrusting of others. She is good at hiding her emotions but has chosen to turn to the arts and humanities to express herself instead. Currently doing an internship at Edo Publishing in the editorial department.

### Guillam Matisse
Art Dealer, Kalmia Art Gallery Japan.

"By being completely taken with expressing art in a single way, you are forgetting about the world."

Confident and ambitious, but also a bit of a flirt and is sometimes shallow. His level of Japanese is good enough to carry out everday conversation without trouble, but he occasionally slips up. He initially came to Japan on a work-cum-holiday trip but ended up staying due to various job-related reasons. Passionate about the arts and his career, he is a firm believer of mixing business with pleasure.

### Koga Shinichi
Touzaka University 4th Year, Literature Major, Art Club leader.

"Matsubayashi is too long. Can I call you Asami? ...San?"

A former student of a fine arts university 'BiDai', Shinichi is two years older despite being in the same school year as Asami. For some reason, she treats him coldly and his joke always roll off her back.
