Synopsis:

The series follows Masahiro Setagawa, a young man accustomed to being overlooked and exploited by those around him. His world shifts when he encounters Kousuke Ooshiba, a figure of quiet strength known for his decisive intervention in local conflicts. A year later, their paths cross again as students in the same high school, with Kousuke unexpectedly becoming Masahiro's teacher. This proximity fosters a complex dynamic; Masahiro develops a profound sense of reliance on Kousuke, while Kousuke feels an increasingly strong need for protection over him. The emergence of a familiar face from Kousuke’s past complicates their developing relationship, introducing tensions around unrequited feelings and the potential disruption of their fragile equilibrium. The narrative explores themes of dependence, responsibility, and navigating interpersonal connections within the structured environment of adolescence.
