Orphaned prodigy Yamato loses top rank to new transfer student Sekai at elite boys' school.
Yamato Katsuragi wishes he could hit the fast-forward button on his life. After losing his parents at the age of three, Yamato has been much alone. His relatives despise him, and his classmates envy him. Yamato attends a prestigious private boys' school on a scholarship and thus, occupies the spot at the top of his grade. Well... occupied. A new student, Sekai Higashikariya, has transferred and taken Yamato's spot. (Source: Fantasista Inc.)
