    Synopsis:

    The series explores the unlikely connection forged between students from rival schools, Chidori Public and the prestigious Kikyo Private Academy. Chidori is perceived as a rough-and-tumble environment, while Kikyo represents refinement and privilege, fostering a mutual disdain. Rintarou Tsumugi, a quiet student from Chidori with a hidden life working in his family's cake shop, encounters Kaoruko Waguri, a Kikyo student who challenges his assumptions about social standing.

    Their initial meeting sparks a burgeoning friendship built on genuine kindness and mutual curiosity. However, their connection faces considerable opposition stemming from the entrenched animosity between their respective communities. The narrative examines themes of prejudice, personal perception, and the possibility of bridging divides through individual relationships. It presents a gentle exploration of character development within a backdrop of social disparity, focusing on the challenges of building understanding across seemingly insurmountable boundaries.
