A Girl on the Shore

うみべの女の子

In a dull seaside town with little to do, junior-high student Koume Sato, stinging from a humiliating encounter with an older boy she liked, turns to her classmate Keisuke Isobe and asks him to sleep with her. Isobe, who has carried feelings for Koume since elementary school, agrees, and the two settle into a detached physical relationship at his often-empty house. What begins as a way to fill the boredom and numb their separate hurts pulls both teenagers into a raw, uneasy intimacy neither fully understands.
