Melancholy Winter Rose

In the title story, "Melancholy Winter Rose", we meet Ms. Uemura, who was made Mr. Takarai's secretary six months ago... She thinks he's out of her league, until he tells her that she smells like flowers and takes her hand...! In "The Strongest Pair", everyone knows that Riko and Keiji are rivals. She's been hiding her feelings for him, just wanting to be by his side, but lately it doesn't feel like enough... In "Ring Ring Ring", Narumi knows about the ring on Kazunari's finger. He asks her out, and though she knows she'll get hurt, she can't say no... In "Spring Has Brought You Home", the angelic little boy Nako grew up with, Koki, comes back from America as a devil! Even though he acts spoiled and messes her around, she can't stop thinking about him...!
