Synopsis

Onodera, once disguised as a boy, confesses love to Nishioka but is rejected; their past intertwines.

Onodera Saku posed as a boy up until the end of elementary school in an attempt to console her mother, who tremendously grieved the death of her elder brother. Seated right next to her, on the other hand, is Nishioka who grows out his hair beyond the usual length for boys and because of that is picked on. Following a conflict with his classmate he decides to cut it short. Next day he helps Onodera when her toilet bag is snatched away by that very same boy. Fast forward. Onodera no longer dresses like a boy and finally confesses her love to Nishioka, but is rejected. How did it turn out this way? (Source: MU)
