Ejiro's heartbeat
Updated at Nov 15, 2025, 16:48
At just 15, Ejiro is caught between two worlds — the quiet rhythm of her village and the fast-paced hum of city life. When she's sent to spend a term in the city for school, her life takes a tender turn. Amid new classmates, unfamiliar streets, and stricter rules, she meets someone who makes her heart skip in a way she’s never felt before. With a shy smile and nervous glances, Ejiro begins to understand what it means to like someone — the innocent crush that turns school corridors into butterflies and shared notes into precious memories. But between cultural expectations, strict parents, and the trials of teenage life, can Ejiro handle the whirlwind of first love without losing herself?
