Morita-san wa Mukuchi. 2

Mayu Morita faces new school-day situations: making sweets in class, meeting a trainee teacher, and preparing a flea market for the cultural festival. She pays close attention to everything around her, though thinking carefully about a reply often means missing the chance to say it.

Illness and a disagreement between friends bring quieter tests of her thoughtfulness. Mayu tries to help without suddenly becoming talkative, while Miki, Chihiro, and Hana continue learning how much their reserved companion expresses through actions. Their friendship grows through the small misunderstandings and acts of care that fill an otherwise ordinary term.
