Synopsis
Orphan Katsuko joins new school, navigating family tensions and rivalries while healing classmates' conflicts through kindness.
The orphan Katsuko is adopted by her wealthy aunt, but also has to face the bantering of her impulsive cousin Kyou. What's more, they will start attending the same school. In the new school, Katsuko meets various students who will become part of her life: Komori, the haughty president of the singing club (which she joined), the studious and serious Narumi, and the fascinating sempai Saiki. The girl also notices some tensions and complicated relationships among her new classmates, particularly between Kyou and Komori, who seem to have a long-standing rivalry. As Katsuko navigates her new life at school and within her extended family, she finds herself caught in the middle of various emotional situations and conflicts between the people around her. Through her kindness and unique perspective, she may have the potential to help heal some of the rifts she discovers.
