Synopsis:

The series explores the unconventional relationship between Atsuhiro Kagari and Non Katagiri. Akkun, deeply infatuated with Non, struggles to express his affection due to extreme shyness, often manifesting as bluntness and seemingly harsh behavior. Despite his outward demeanor, Akkun’s actions are driven by a genuine desire to connect with Non, leading him to adopt peculiar methods of observation and subtle adoration.

Non, however, perceives these behaviors not as cruelty, but as endearing quirks, finding charm in Akkun's awkward attempts at affection. The dynamic is observed with bemusement by their friend, Masago, yet the core of their bond remains affectionate. The anime presents a gentle character study, examining the complexities of love, communication, and the often-misinterpreted nuances of personal expression within a contemporary school setting. It offers a quiet exploration of how affection can be conveyed in unexpected ways.
