Kokoro's world is turned upside down when she discovers that her father has planned for her to enter into a marriage of convenience as soon as she graduates from high school. She feels like her life is over before her eyes, and she can't believe that her dreams and aspirations will be sacrificed for the sake of convenience.

Determined to make the most of her final year of high school, Kokoro decides to pursue her love of other women. She creates an incredible sketchbook filled with illustrations of lesbian romance, a passion that she has always secretly held. She spends countless hours observing the young women of her town, trying to understand their desires, their struggles, and the unpredictable whims of love.

Through her sketchbook, Kokoro hopes to leave behind a legacy that will inspire and empower other young women who may be facing similar circumstances. She wants them to know that they are not alone and that there is a world of possibility and beauty waiting for them outside of the traditional heterosexual marriage.

As she works on her sketchbook, Kokoro also begins to develop deeper connections with the women in her town. She learns about their hopes and dreams, their fears and insecurities, and the ways in which they navigate the complexities of love and relationships. She finds herself drawn to certain women, and she begins to explore her own sexuality and desires in a new and exciting way.

However, Kokoro's journey is not without its challenges. Her father is deeply opposed to her love of other women, and he tries to convince her to abandon her sketchbook and follow his plans for her future. He threatens to disown her and cut off her financial support if she doesn't comply.

Kokoro is torn between her love for her father and her desire to live authentically. She knows that she can't betray her own beliefs and desires, but she also doesn't want to risk losing the support that she needs to pursue her dreams.

In the end, Kokoro makes a decision that surprises everyone. She decides to pursue her love of other women openly and publicly, even if it means risking everything that she has ever known. She uses her sketchbook as a platform to raise awareness about the importance of LGBTQ+ rights and to inspire other young women to embrace their own identities.

Through her courage and determination, Kokoro proves that love knows no boundaries and that anyone can pursue their dreams, no matter what their circumstances may be. Her legacy lives on, and she continues to inspire and empower others to live authentically and pursue their passions.
