Other name: ハニーレモンソーダ, 青春特調蜂蜜檸檬蘇打, Haniremonsoda

Description:

Honey Lemon Soda centers on Ishimori Uka, a remarkably shy girl scarred by her middle school days where she was cruelly nicknamed "stone." Inspired by a chance meeting with Miura Kai, a boy with striking lemon-colored hair, Uka decides to enroll in the same high school. Her unwavering goal is to conquer her shyness and finally forge meaningful friendships.

At school, Uka finds Kai to be a highly popular figure, yet he remains reserved and seemingly uninterested in his surroundings. Despite his aloof demeanor, Kai inexplicably begins to show concern for Uka as she struggles to adapt and connect with others. Uka, who has long admired Kai, finds her feelings deepening into a genuine affection. As Uka embarks on her journey of self-improvement and first love, she slowly discovers that Kai harbors a secret known to no one. This charming tale beautifully blends themes of personal growth, budding romance, and the courage to change.
