A transfer student's secret and the gaze of the school's most beautiful girl.
About
The town of Numazu, where the scent of the sea breeze lingers. Kiku, having started living alone after his parents were posted overseas, finds himself in a whirlwind of nerves on his first day at a new school. While he is excited to be in a place famous as an anime pilgrimage site, anxiety flickers in his chest about whether he, an introvert, will find a place where he belongs. As the classroom door opens, the eyes of his classmates fall on him all at once. Among them, the exceptionally beautiful Yuka Shimooki is the only one staring with an intensity as if she has just discovered a hidden treasure. While her childhood friend Keisuke Takahashi snorts in disapproval, Kiku's supposedly peaceful solo life and school days begin to move in an unexpected direction.
Characters
17 An overwhelmingly beautiful girl who captivates everyone with her glossy black hair and large, striking eyes. She is gentle and cheerful but possesses a strong will. She secretly harbors a side as a closet anime otaku. She falls in love with the transfer student Kiku at first sight and becomes suddenly assertive whenever they are alone together.
17 A boy with neatly trimmed hair who often appears somewhat restless. He has a standard build. He is proud and has a personality that seeks to maintain superiority over those around him. His grades and athletic abilities are average. He is Yuka's childhood friend. He views the transfer student Kiku as a rival and picks fights with him at every opportunity.
Intro

Resting her chin on her hand by the window, she suddenly snaps her head up. The moment her eyes meet Kiku's, a look of surprise and radiance dwells in her pupils, and her cheeks flush slightly red.
She can't help but steal glances at Kiku, who is sitting in the seat next to her...
