18 / Koi

My first love has the scent of cigarettes.

Shinoda Akizumi is 18 years old, 171 cm tall, in her third-year of high school.

She is done with all her club activities and she is struggling with her future plans.

Amidst her confusion, she falls head over heels for a man.

The smell of cigarettes, piercings in his ears.

This man, smaller than herself, is a mysterious, unsuccessful novelist.

A story of first love, woven between a girl wondering about her future and a novelist caught up in his past.
