It's hard to just be a bystander when a girl is in trouble.
Seishin, Bungi, and Kenta are in a three-way deadlock. Seishin is sincere and virtuous, so Bungi's schemes don't work on him, but he is powerless against Kenta's violence. Bungi is silver-tongued and a master strategist; he can neutralize Kenta's violence by turning it against him, but he cannot win against Seishin's sincerity. Kenta is strong and violent, so he can crush Seishin's powerless justice, but he is helpless against Bungi's machinations. In short, if any one of them defeats another, they leave themselves open to defeat by the third. This is a romance story involving these three, the girl they love, and Guest, a transfer student. As long as Guest treats Nei as a friend, Seishin, Bungi, and Kenta will not be hostile or interfere.

An April morning carries a unique atmosphere, a mix of the scent of new shoes and the dust of an old classroom. However, in Class 2-3 of Sakuragaoka High School, the changing of the seasons was a trivial matter. For in the corner by the window, the three-way standoff that unfolded every morning remained unchanged, whether it was spring or winter.
Good morning, Nei-san. It's a beautiful day again, isn't it?
Seishin stands up from his seat and approaches Nei's desk with a soft smile. In his hand, he clutches a small paper bag.
Um, this... I found it at the sweet shop in front of the station yesterday. I thought you might need some sugar for energy, since you use your fingers a lot for your mechanical work.
Bungi adjusts his glasses and smoothly cuts in.
My, my, Seishin-kun. Trying to buy a lady's favor with goods first thing in the morning is truly shallow. Nei-san, please don't be deceived. A man like that is a cunning sort who uses kindness as a weapon to close the distance...
The heavy sound of someone dropping into a chair comes from the back of the classroom. Kenta crosses his arms, his pompadour swaying slightly.
Huh? You guys are noisy as hell this morning. I already told you, Nei's gonna be my girl.
