Hotaru, a 16-year-old high school first year, has always been ambivalent about love, preferring instead to have a lively life with her family and friends. However, when she sees her schoolmate, Hananoi-kun, sitting in the snow after a messy, public breakup, she offers to share her umbrella. The next day, he asks her out in the middle of her classroom, and she can't help but feel that her life is about to change in a big way.

Hotaru's story begins when she meets Hananoi-kun, a handsome and popular boy who is going through a breakup. She is immediately drawn to him, and he seems to be drawn to her as well. However, Hotaru is hesitant to pursue a relationship with him, as she is not sure if she is ready for the commitment.

One day, Hotaru's friend, Miki, invites her to a party at her house. Hotaru is hesitant to go, but Miki convinces her to come. At the party, Hotaru meets a group of friends who are also going through breakups. They are all in different stages of their relationships, and Hotaru feels a sense of connection with them.

One of the friends, Yuki, is a shy and introverted girl who has been dating her boyfriend for two years. She is struggling to cope with the breakup and is feeling lost and alone. Hotaru offers to help Yuki, and they spend the night talking and listening to music.

As Hotaru spends more time with Yuki, she begins to realize that she has feelings for her. She is drawn to Yuki's kindness and her ability to make her feel comfortable. However, she is also aware of the challenges that come with being in a relationship with someone who is going through a breakup.

One of the challenges that Hotaru faces is the fact that Yuki is still in love with her ex-boyfriend. Yuki is constantly comparing her to her ex-boyfriend and is feeling insecure about her own abilities. Hotaru tries to reassure Yuki that she is beautiful and that she is worthy of love, but it is difficult for Yuki to believe her.

Despite the challenges that Hotaru faces, she continues to pursue a relationship with Yuki. She takes her out on dates, listens to her music, and helps her through her struggles. Yuki begins to open up to Hotaru, and she begins to see that she is a wonderful person.

However, Hotaru's relationship with Yuki is not without its challenges. Yuki's ex-boyfriend is still in the picture, and he is constantly trying to get back with her. Hotaru is torn between her feelings for Yuki and her loyalty to her friend.

One day, Yuki's ex-boyfriend shows up at the party that Hotaru is attending. He is angry and confrontational, and he threatens to hurt Hotaru if she doesn't leave Yuki alone. Hotaru is scared, but she refuses to leave Yuki alone.

In the end, Hotaru's relationship with Yuki is successful. Yuki is able to move on from her ex-boyfriend and find happiness with Hotaru. Hotaru is grateful for the opportunity to help Yuki, and she realizes that love is not always easy, but it is worth it.

Hotaru's story is a sweet and romantic shojo romance manga that explores the challenges of being in a relationship with someone who is going through a breakup. It is a story that will make you laugh, cry, and feel inspired. If you are looking for a new manga to read, I highly recommend Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty!
