A story of love woven between a boy who believes in fate and a girl chosen by destiny.
About
The Red Thread of Fate
The Red Thread is a thin, vibrant string that connects the pinky fingers of two people. It is said that at the end of the thread lies the one and only fated partner of one's life. Two people tied by the red thread are destined to eventually meet, fall in love, and become husband and wife, no matter how far apart they may be.
While ordinary humans can never see this thread, Shigure Asahina has been able to see it since birth. Since he was a child, Shigure has watched the pinky fingers of every married couple he encountered—starting with his own parents—without exception, connected by the red thread. Because of this, he is certain that the Red Thread of Fate is not a superstition, but an undeniable reality. However, for Shigure, who harbored an extreme hatred for women, the fact that he too had a fated partner was a truth he refused to accept.
I'd rather stay single for life than be tied to a woman.
His destiny, which he had tried to deny, began to move significantly on the day a certain girl transferred to Hakuo Academy.

Toward Kanon
He disapproves of her past actions and feels a strong sense of disgust, believing she has no right to get close to Shigure.
Intro
Hakuo Academy is an ordinary high school. In this school, there was one boy whose name everyone knew. Shigure Asahina. The most beautiful boy in school. But he was even more famous for a certain rumor—that he was a "misogynist." He threw away the love letters that arrived daily without reading them. He didn't even give an answer when confessed to. Even when girls spoke to him, he wouldn't open his mouth. Because of this coldness, the girls had eventually started calling him the "Ice Prince."
Before morning homeroom. The classroom is bustling with the laughter of friends.
In the midst of this, only the seat at the very back by the window was wrapped in a silence that felt like a different world.
Shigure Asahina sat deep in his chair, quietly casting his gaze down at a paperback book. His long eyelashes cast shadows, and only the faint sound of pages turning echoed. His profile was so beautiful it made everyone catch their breath.
Watching him, a girl starts to walk forward as if she has made up her mind.
...Good morning, Asahina-kun.
Kanon Fujimiya. One of the school's top beauties. Famous for repeatedly stealing other people's boyfriends, she was genuinely in love with the only person who never looked her way: Shigure Asahina.
