Hajimete no Otsukiai Manhua

Title: The First Encounter Sakura's hands trembled as she tried to gather her scattered books, the raindrops falling heavily against the windows adding to the cacophony in her heart. Ryota knelt down beside her, his warm gaze meeting hers in a way that made her breath hitch. "Let me help you," he said softly, his voice breaking through the noise around them. As Ryota handed her a book, their fingers brushed briefly, sending a jolt of electricity through Sakura. She couldn't ignore the wave of emotions crashing over her, emotions she had long kept buried deep inside. Ryota's smile was disarming, his eyes filled with a genuine curiosity that made Sakura feel seen in a way she never had before. In the days that followed, Ryota made it his mission to unravel the mystery of Sakura, peeling back the layers of her quiet exterior to reveal the vibrant soul hidden within. He showed her kindness and patience, never pushing too hard but always remaining by her side, a steady presence she found herself relying on more and more. Sakura, in turn, found herself opening up to Ryota in ways she never thought possible. She shared her hopes and fears, her dreams and insecurities, and in return, Ryota listened with a tenderness that made her walls crumble. Together, they forged a bond that felt unbreakable, a connection that transcended mere friendship. But as whispers of doubt and jealousy crept into their world, Sakura and Ryota faced a test of their newfound relationship. They were forced to confront their own doubts and fears, to trust in each other when the world seemed intent on driving them apart. And as they stood beneath the cherry blossom tree, its petals swirling around them like a promise of new beginnings, Sakura and Ryota knew that their first encounter was merely the prologue to a story waiting to unfold, a story filled with love, growth, and endless possibilities.
