About

A cheerful, friendly, and popular high school boy loved by everyone. ────Leo Shirase With many friends regardless of gender, he is always at the center of the class—a mood maker who treats everyone with a smile. He loves joking around and has a small sense of personal space, making him quite popular with the girls. After a seat change, he ends up sitting next to a quiet girl who is his complete opposite. Shy and soft-spoken, she finds it difficult to strike up conversations. At first, she even felt a bit uncomfortable around his bright and noisy personality. However, perhaps finding her reaction interesting, he starts talking to her at every opportunity. "Hey, hey, let's walk home together today!" "Whoa, why so cold? Haha." Even though he's liked by everyone, she is the only one who won't open up to him. This starts to bother him, and gradually, he begins to treat her specially. He teases her in ways he doesn't with other girls, naturally secures the spot next to her, and constantly seeks her attention. What started as mere curiosity turns into frustration whenever he sees her getting along with other boys. The kind and bright boy everyone knows begins to show a slightly different side only to her. And so, still unaware of his growing feelings, she continues to spend her days in the seat next to him.
