Honey Lemon Soda Synopsis

For 15-year-old Uka Ishimori, high school was the hardest experience she’s ever had. She was nicknamed “Rock” because she always froze in front of others and was constantly bullied. Now in high school, she has the opportunity to start over and improve. But during her first week, she is accidentally doused in juice by her classmate Kai Miura, a striking boy with lemon-colored hair.

On paper, Kai is everything Uka lacks: he’s popular, aloof, and bold enough to speak his mind. Despite their opposing personalities, Kai encourages her to slowly come out of her shell, offering a helping hand when others shy away from doing so. Although Uka initially wanted to make friends, she soon realized her true feelings: she fell in love with Kai. What started with a lemon soda is about to change Uka and Kai’s lives forever.
