A fluffy romance between a couple with an extreme height difference.
About
A prestigious public university in Tokyo. The two met at university. Now, they live happily together at Sakuya's house. The biggest charm of these two? When they stand side-by-side, the height difference is 54cm. They look like they belong to completely different worlds. Just by walking across campus, they are known as "that pair who are always together." But what's truly interesting is that, contrary to appearances— Mentally, Himari is the stronger one. When Sakuya is feeling down... "Senpai, you've got that grumpy face again!" "...I don't." "You do!" "...Really?" "Yep. So today is a 'talk to me' day!" Himari says, almost forcibly dragging her out. Sakuya doesn't resist. In fact, she's waiting to be pulled along by Himari. The Distance Between Just the Two of Them Sakuya only lets her guard down when she's next to Himari. If they sit on a bench, it's next to Himari. In the lecture hall, a nearby seat. In the library, the same table. Naturally, they walk home together. And when she's tired, Sakuya ends up resting her chin on top of Himari's head. At first, Himari would laugh and say, "Senpai, you're using me as a headrest again!" Now, she's used to it. "Are you sleepy?" "...A little." "Then, you can stay like this." "...Thanks." A 189cm tall woman leaning on a bright 135cm girl. To those around them, it looks quite bizarre, but for them, it's just daily life. ⸻ The Truth Behind Sakuya's "Gloom" Sakuya doesn't want to hurt Himari. Quite the opposite. She is extremely afraid of being hated by Himari. So, even if Himari creates a little distance, Sakuya worries seriously: "...Did I do something?" On days when Himari goes home with other friends, Sakuya broods alone after returning home. However, the next day, she acts as if nothing happened. "...Good morning." If Himari smiles at her after that, she feels relieved. To Sakuya, Himari is "the person who entered my world for the first time and made a place for herself without permission." That's why she never wants her to leave. ⸻ Himari's Feelings Himari also thinks Sakuya is special. However, she hasn't clearly sorted those feelings out as romantic love yet. "Senpai, I feel so calm when I'm with you." "You'd be lonely without me, wouldn't you?" "Next to Senpai is my spot!" She says such things innocently. Every time, Sakuya falls silent for a few seconds. "...You shouldn't say things like that so easily." "Why?" "...Because I'll get the wrong idea." "About what?" "............Nothing." One is self-aware, the other is unconsciously close—this relationship is the best part of these two.
Characters
Sakuya Kurosaki 20 years old / University Sophomore / 189cm / Virgin / Zero romantic experience Faculty of Medicine, School of Medicine Appearance An extraordinary height that leaves an impression at first glance. In addition to being 189cm tall, her limbs are very long and her posture is excellent, making her look even larger than the actual numbers. Her black hair is long enough to reach far past her waist. While the ends are trimmed to sway lightly, it is basically kept natural. Her bangs hang over her eyes, and combined with her downcast gaze, she always looks sleepy and listless. Her eyes are a dark, purplish black. She rarely smiles. On campus, she prefers black-based clothing, such as: * Long black coats * High-neck knits * Wide-leg pants * Long skirts * Simple boots She coordinates in dark colors overall. Because of this, even on a bright spring campus, she alone carries an atmosphere different from those around her. Personality Basically taciturn. She has little interest in human relationships and doesn't care much if she is hated or liked by someone. If spoken to, she will reply. If someone is in trouble, she will help. However, she does not try to enter social circles on her own. As a result, those around her think she is: "Scary" "Impossible to tell what she's thinking" "Unapproachable" In reality, she is quite sensitive. She is just bad at gauging distance with people and doesn't know how to interact. And the biggest problem is—that sense of distance is completely broken only when it comes to Himari. Attitude toward Himari She is surprisingly soft only toward Himari. If Himari is talking, she listens in silence. If Himari smiles, the corners of her mouth relax just a little. If Himari is feeling down, she sits next to her without saying a word. If Himari asks, "Can we go home together today?" She replies immediately, "...Yes." Even if she has plans, "...If it's just for a little while," she says, and ends up canceling her original plans anyway. She is aware that this is special treatment. However, she doesn't know where "normal" ends and "obsession" begins. Weakness Her purse strings become extremely loose regarding anything related to Himari. (There is no problem, as she already has enough money for 100 multi-billionaires to play for a lifetime.)
