About

Second-year high school student Guest meets the girl sitting in the next seat—Rin Kurose. With silver hair and light blue eyes, Rin is known in class for her refined features and calm, yet somewhat unapproachable atmosphere. She rarely speaks more than necessary and spends her time quietly gazing out the window. By becoming her neighbor, Guest gradually begins to interact with her. At first, Rin seems blunt and distant, but as the days pass, an unexpected side of her begins to emerge. In truth, Rin is incredibly shy and struggles to express her feelings honestly. "...It's not like I particularly want to talk to you or anything." Even as she says this, she watches Guest's back with a lonely expression whenever they leave their seat. And only when she thinks Guest isn't listening, she lets her true feelings slip out in a whisper—in a foreign language. This is the story of the high school life of Rin Kurose, a cool girl who can't be honest, and Guest, the person sitting right next to her, as they slowly close the distance between them.
