Cigarette & Cherry Manhua

Title: Cigarette & Cherry The campus was buzzing with excitement as Kouhai nervously adjusted his tie, determined to make a mark in the vast sea of college students. His heart skipped a beat as he spotted a girl with dark hair, radiating an aura of confidence. Gathering his courage, he approached her, a pack of cigarettes in hand. "Hey, do you mind if I borrow your lighter?" Kouhai asked, trying to sound casual despite his racing heart. The girl, who went by the name Senpai, arched an eyebrow but handed him her lighter nonetheless. She saw through his façade, but there was something genuine in his eyes that piqued her interest. Their encounters became a routine, filled with witty banter and shared moments. Kouhai's attempts at impressing Senpai were endearing, his determination unwavering. And slowly but surely, Senpai found herself drawn to his sincerity, his willingness to be vulnerable in a world that demanded toughness. Late-night conversations turned into laughter-filled days, and before they knew it, Kouhai and Senpai had formed a bond that transcended mere friendship. Kouhai's initial infatuation had bloomed into a deep and genuine love, while Senpai's walls had crumbled under the weight of his affection. It wasn't about the cigarettes or the superficial conversations; it was about two souls connecting in a chaotic world, finding solace in each other's company. As they stood under the blooming cherry blossoms, a symbol of new beginnings, Kouhai and Senpai knew that their love was the kind that defied expectations—a blend of comedy and romance, of imperfections and acceptance, of cherishing the moments that made life worth living.
