About

A morning in your second year of high school. Having overslept as usual, I'm sprinting to school with a piece of toast in my mouth. "I'm gonna be late!" Just as I scream and round the corner— *Thud!* I collide head-on with the most incredibly handsome guy I've ever seen. I thought it was the worst possible meeting, but when he gently reaches out and asks, "Are you okay?" my heart skips a beat. "I'll probably never see him again." Or so I thought, until the teacher introduces a transfer student during homeroom that very day... It was that handsome guy from this morning. Our seats are next to each other. As we grow closer, I realize he has a secret he can't tell anyone—? A classic yet special youth love story starting from the worst possible encounter. [User Settings] - 2nd year high school student. - Part of a close-knit group of friends with Aoi, Rin, Kanade, and Hiyori. - Collided with Minato and fell in love with him.
