Shiori Misaka ( 美坂) is a first-year student who has suffered from an illness since birth. Her affliction has caused her to become very physically weak, and is almost always absent from school because of it. She loves drama and is always inventing reasons for things that happen in her life, but the real-life drama of a sister who denies her and a life threatened by illness is encroaching on her. Strangely enough, sick as she is, Shiori thinks nothing of sitting outside the school for hours on end while eating ice cream in the middle of winter, despite Yuuichi Aizawa telling her several times to go home and rest. Due to her illness it is not strange for her to carry around an array of different pills and drugs for her many ailments.

She has a noticeably quiet voice, though is not afraid about adding a smart-alec remark during a conversation in an attempt to sound cooler. Shiori informed Yuuichi early on that the reason she disobeys her doctors' advice and comes to school so frequently is that she wants to meet someone she knows.

Shiorii Misaka meets Yuuichi the day after he arrives in town. He is out with Ayu Tsukimiya when Yuuichi finally remembers that he had known Ayu from seven years ago. Ayu, very happy about meeting him again after so long, goes in for a hug, but Yuuichi dodges causing Ayu to smack into a tree. The result of which causes snow to fall from the tree onto a passing Shiori. She had been carrying groceries she had bought earlier which were now strewn on the ground around her. Seeing the trouble Ayu and he caused, Yuuichi helps to pick up her things and Ayu helps out as well. Once Shiori has everything, the three of them go for a little walk down the snowy pathway and they discover that Shiori is a first year high school student. The next day in school Jun spots a young girl in casual clothes on the school grounds below their classroom. Yuuichi recognizes her as Shiori and during lunch break goes down to meet her.

Yuuichi asks her what she is doing here, and Shiori says not to worry since she a student at this school, but has the day off due to a sickness. When Yuuichi asks what she is sick with, Shiori tells him it is a simple cold, though she has had it for a long time. Yuuichi then asks why she is here if she is sick, and Shiori explains that she has come to try to meet someone she knows. When Yuuichi asks what person she is waiting for, Shiori tells him it is a secret and leaves it at that. At the end of this conversation, Yuuichi introduces himself using his full name, though Shiori only uses her given name. Upon asking what her family name is, Shiori simply walks away as if she did not hear what he said.

During the next few weeks, Yuuichi starts to regularly meet Shiori at school whether it is during or after school has gotten out. Yuuichi repeatedly tells her to go home so that she will get better sooner instead of standing out in the cold all the time, though Shiori never listens to his pleas. One day, Yuuichi asks Shiori if there is anything she would want to eat and Shiori tells him that she would like to eat some ice cream, despite it being very cold outside.

Yuuichi starts to hang out with Shiori more often than he had been doing before. On their first outing together, Yuuichi brings her around town such as at the arcade, a place Shiori had never been before. Shiori proves to have slow reflexes so is not very good at the games available, but still has a lot of fun with Yuuichi at the arcade. Later, they get some ice cream together and have some fun playing in the snow having a snow ball fight of sorts and building a snowman. Shiori had brought her sketch book along with her that day and wanted to sketch Yuuichi. After she is finished with the sketch, she is reluctant about showing it to Yuuichi but he eventually gets it from her and asks to keep the sketch; Shiori agrees. At the end of this day, Shiori and Yuuichi go back to the school and head into Shiori's classroom - a place she had only been once before at the beginning of the school year almost a year ago. Shiori ultimately confesses to having lied to Yuuichi all this time about how serious her sickness is, but does not go into much detail about it. Yuuichi later finds out that night from a meeting with Shiori's older sister Kaori Misaka that Shiori may not live past her next birthday which is rapidly approaching.

A week before Shiori's birthday, she gets permission from her doctor to attend school for a week just like a normal student. She had always wanted to go to the same school, eat lunch together, and then walk home together with her older sister, though due to her sickness was never able to. Even after getting the chance to go to school for a week, Kaori still avoids Shiori as much as she can, not wanting to have to experience the pain that Shiori's death will bring if she ends up dying. Yuuichi starts to eat lunch with Shiori in the cafeteria at this point, though after discovering that Shiori can not handle any spicy food that the cafeteria may serve such as curry, Shiori starts to make lunch for the two of them. However, she often gets so excited about it that she usually packs too much for Yuuichi to normally eat in one sitting.

For Shiori's birthday, Yuuichi decides to throw her a birthday party the day before her official birthday at a local café and invites several others to join in including Ayu Tsukimiya, Nayuki Minase, Jun Kitagawa, and even Kaori among others. While Kaori does not show up at the start of the party, she later shows up which completely changes the mood of the party. Afterwards, Kaori finally decides to accept Shiori as her younger sister which makes Shiori happier than she had been in recent months. Kaori then leaves with the others so that Yuuichi and Shiori can spend the rest of the day alone.

The rest of the night is spent at Shiori's favorite place in town: next to a very large fountain in the park. Shiori tells him that night something she neglected to say about the day they first met. That day, Shiori was planning to kill herself by slitting her wrists with a box cutter but after meeting Yuuichi and Ayu on her way home from the grocery store, she could not go through with it and wanted to meet both of them again. After midnight strikes and Shiori becomes sixteen years old, Yuuichi gives her his present- a sketch book which he looks forward to Shiori using it and filling up all the pages. After a kiss between the two moments later, Shiori gets up and tells Yuuichi she is going to buy some warm drinks and for him to stay behind and wait. Before long, Yuuichi notices that Shiori is taking too long and immediately suspects something is wrong. Going over to the vending machines, Yuuichi finds a warm drink and Shiori's sketchbook with a note from Shiori: "Thank you very much. Goodbye." After this point, Shiori has to go back to the hospital and Kaori does not come to school during this time.

In the end, Shiori miraculously heals and is not in danger of dying anymore. She confesses to Yuuichi in tears that she never wanted to die, and that she was only trying to be strong during those difficult times.
