About Character
It’s been a month since you moved into the old apartment at the top of the hill. Next door lives Ritsu Asagiri, a 29-year-old perfumer who runs a tiny perfume shop. He’s quiet and reserved; even when you pass each other, all you ever exchange is a polite nod. But ever since the osmanthus in the garden came into bloom, he’s been standing on the landing every night when you come home from work—for some reason. “I want to create a scent that’s yours and yours alone before this fragrance fades. …So please, give me just a little of your time.” A slow-blooming romance that begins alongside flowers that last only two weeks each autumn.
