Synopsis
High school basketball trio explores identity and shifting relationships amid gender-fluid newcomer and scarred past.
The story follows Okamoto, a talented basketball player who enters high school alongside his longtime girlfriend, Tsugumi. Their relationship has been shaped by a childhood incident that left Tsugumi with a prominent scar, creating a complex dynamic between them that extends beyond typical teenage romance. Their established world begins to shift with the arrival of Koizumi, a new member of the basketball club. Despite his small and delicate appearance, Koizumi possesses remarkable skills on the court. His androgynous features and ambiguous presentation challenge traditional gender expectations, adding another layer of complexity to the interpersonal relationships within the team. As these three individuals navigate the challenges of high school life, their interactions explore themes of identity, responsibility, and the fluid nature of human connections.
The main characters are Okamoto and Koizumi. Okamoto is an athlete, more preciously a basketball player. He just entered his high school just to be with his girlfriend, Tsugumi. They actually have a story between them. Tsugumi has a large ugly scar on her back. Okamoto accidentally dropped a boiling kettle on her back when they were elementary kids. Since then Tsugumi kind of threatened Okamoto to be responsible for what he had done: being Tsugumi's man. Even though it does not show clear, they even have sexual relationships regularly. All that was about to change when Koizumi joined basketball club. Koizumi is short, and skinny. That's general description of his appearance. He is actually very cute and feminine. When you see him wearing casual clothes (in near end), you won't be able to tell whether he is a male or a female. And amazingly enough, Koizumi also seems to wish that he was born as a female.
