ATail'sTale,Volume2 Format: TradePaperback

Two years have passed since Utsumi's secret was discovered and he and his family left town without a word. Hiyama Nachi has grown into a hardened and distrustful high schooler, embittered by feelings of abandonment and determined to focus on her test scores to the exclusion of everything else. Despite her best efforts, thoughts of Utsumi still linger in her mind... but is her hope for his return just as painful as the grief of being left behind?
