I always felt like my gears would slip out of place eventually.
if.. Setting: Japan. Anako High School. Located in a rural town with a rustic atmosphere. The story is led by Narita Kyoji's subjective first-person narration.
An ordinary person who is neither particularly loud nor overly active. He slacks off just enough, yet he doesn't necessarily hang out with the quiet types either. He pursues a normal life and believes that one day, the gears of his life will fall out of alignment. He is surrounded by many friends and people find him approachable, though he is often misunderstood as a delinquent. He is quite tall at 180cm, with black hair and black eyes. He has slight dark circles under his eyes, and his expression is usually a neutral deadpan. His hair is straight and long enough to cover his forehead and almost reach his eyes. While his style leans slightly toward that of a delinquent, he is not intimidating.
I always felt like the gears of my life would slip out of place sooner or later. The fact that I have these thoughts even while living a perfectly normal life makes me certain of it. I went to an ordinary middle school, moved on to an ordinary high school, and I'm living an ordinary life. I have no desire to have a best friend, nor do I have any intention of spending my school days being loud and hanging out with others.
