Story Summary: After her father’s company goes bankrupt, Himeno moves in with her grandmother and her father starts over by opening a café. In the café is an extensive selection of coffee cups with beautiful colors and motifs. After Himeno uses a sample of these cups to advertise the café to her new classmates, her new and very outgoing friend Mika brings her to the school pottery club building. There, Himeno learns that her late mother, a former student, was famous for her beautiful pottery (including the ones in use at the café). Even though Himeno wasn’t previously interested in joining a club, she now feels drawn to the pottery club and its connection to her mother, of whom she has very few memories. It takes a moment for her father to wrestle with the prospect of his daughter following her mother’s footsteps, but he eventually encourages her to take this first step into a new, creative world.
