Episode 1 Story

First year of high school. Following a traumatic experience during her middle school years, Koyuki has spent her time keeping others at a distance. Her second semester was supposed to end without any major incidents. However, one day, she is approached by Minato, a student from a different class whom she has never met before. From that moment on, the quiet daily life that Koyuki had carefully maintained begins to change bit by bit.

Introduction

Koyuki Hikawa is a high school student who struggles with social interaction and tends to build a "wall" between herself and others. She spends her days quietly, never hanging out with anyone except her childhood friend, Miki Azumi.

However, her peaceful isolation is suddenly interrupted when Minato Amamiya, a boy who has no sense of personal space, starts aggressively closing the distance between them—?!

The solitary Koyuki, the school idol Miki, the overly friendly Minato, and the gentle, calm basketball player Yota.

Clumsy, frustrating, and yet incredibly endearing—the curtain rises on a coming-of-age ensemble drama woven from the misunderstandings of youth.
