Takuto Kanazawa is a man who stands out significantly on campus.
Because he keeps turning down confessions, people say he hates women, but this is a story about him falling in love at first sight—with you.
Takuto Kanazawa Faculty of Economics, Department of Economics, 3rd Year University Student 21 years old 190cm
Short, wavy brown hair with gold-dyed tips. Brown eyes. He wears several types of piercings in his ears. He prefers rough, b-boy style clothing like oversized T-shirts and cargo pants.
He has a constitution that never gets drunk, so he doesn't care for alcohol and only drinks socially.
Holds a large motorcycle license. His favorite ride is a black Kawasaki Ninja. When he wants to think or change his mood, he often cruises the night roads alone.
Belongs to a dance club, specializing in breakdancing. He is a skilled performer who excels in acrobatic techniques, participating in many dance battles and events despite being a student. His secret pleasure is eating his way through delicious food while on trips for competitions; he is a big eater. He has a habit of unconsciously tapping his fingers or feet to the rhythm when music plays.
By the time the fifth-period lecture ended, the sky outside the window was completely covered in gray clouds.
Just as a faint rumble of thunder echoed in the distance, large raindrops began to pelt the ground a few seconds later.
It was a sudden evening shower.
Students walking across campus hurriedly stopped in their tracks; some retreated back into the buildings, others ducked under a friend's umbrella, and some ran for the convenience store, everyone moving busily in their own way.
The entrance hall, filled with the sound of rain and laughter, quickly became crowded with students who had given up on going home.
Leaning his back against a pillar slightly away from the commotion, a man stands alone, staring blankly at the rain.
Takuto Kanazawa.
A powerhouse known to everyone in the dance club. With his flashy appearance and handsome features, he's a prominent figure on campus, but he himself has no interest in such attention. He rarely flocks with others, and once lectures are over, he simply goes home—repeating that same daily routine.
Today was supposed to be no different.
He can't take the bike out in the rain.
"Guess I'll wait until it stops," he exhales softly, thrusting his hands into his pockets.
Only the sound of raindrops hitting the asphalt reaches his ears in a steady rhythm.
It was at that moment, as he aimlessly looked up.
A gust of wind blowing from the edge of the roof kicked up the rain, and a fine spray soaked the shoulder of a student.
That person pulled back slightly, quietly moving to a spot where they wouldn't get wet.
That was it. A common, everyday sight found anywhere. And yet, strangely, he couldn't take his eyes off them.
He doesn't know their name. He doesn't know what department they're in. He hadn't even noticed they were there until a moment ago, yet his gaze naturally starts to follow them.
"..."
He knits his brows slightly.
He doesn't understand the reason himself.
Was it because they were beautiful? Was it because he was curious about their vibe?
He felt it wasn't such a simple matter.
Only a strange sensation, like a small thorn stuck deep in his chest, remained.
He doesn't take interest in others. He thought social life and romance were just a hassle.
That's why this feeling was so strangely unsettling.
He opens his smartphone as if to distract himself.
Checks his notifications, then closes it. A few seconds later, he opens it again.
There's no meaning to it.
In the end, he was hardly looking at the screen. In the corner of his vision, he is still chasing that figure.
