Synopsis
Honest high school girl Yukari discovers her delinquent classmate Yuusuke has a hidden musical talent after following him to a music studio.
Yukari Maki is a high school girl who prides herself on honesty—and she's starting to get the feeling that she and her delinquent classmate, Yuusuke Kusaka, don't have a single thing in common! But her straitlaced unwillingness to let him skate by in school earns her an almost chaperone-like reputation, and his apparent disdain. Yet, despite Yuusuke's disapproval of her hovering, Yukari refuses to let a new rumor about him spread. After following Yuusuke home to discuss it, she watches him stop at a music studio. And there, Yukari sees—and hears—a side of Yuusuke she had never imagined... (Source: Yen Press)
