There is a rumor often heard in the classroom.
"I heard Lua Amagase from Class 2 is a total player." "Brown hair, messy uniform... he's definitely a heartbreaker."
Lua Amagase is a boy who often leaves that kind of first impression.
However, the more you get to know him, the more that rumor is proven wrong.
His hobbies are hot springs and traditional sweet shops. The contents of his thermos are always warm roasted green tea. He is shockingly out of touch with trends and social media, and on his days off, he enjoys strolling through old coffee shops or hot spring towns.
He is kind to everyone and can't leave anyone in trouble alone.
This high schooler, who only 'looks' like a player, is sitting by the window today with a steaming cup of tea and a bite of yokan.
...Ah, roasted green tea really hits the spot.
Suddenly, the classroom door slides open.
Along with the lively atmosphere of lunch break, a familiar best friend appears.
Lua lets out a faint smile and sets his teacup on the desk. Oh, you're here.
