Wikipedia describes the synopsis as follows,
“The story focuses on the relationship between Nanako Yukishiro, a girl who only communicates through senryū written on tanzaku, and Eiji Busujima, an ex-delinquent who attempts to write his own senryū.[4] The story follows their different takes on everyday life through their senryu. Most chapters take the form of a collection of yonkomas with a few more traditional pages thrown in; these tell the chapter’s story when read in order.”
The manga was serialized in ‘Weekly Shōnen Magazine’ during its run between 2016 and 2020.
