Synopsis:

Sana Kurata navigates a seemingly idyllic existence as a child star and the center of attention. However, her carefully constructed world is disrupted by the disruptive presence of Akito Hayama, a classmate whose increasingly rebellious behavior throws the school into chaos. Determined to restore order and alleviate the burden on her teacher, Sana embarks on a personal investigation into Akito’s motivations. Her efforts reveal a complex individual beneath a facade of defiance, challenging Sana’s perceptions and forcing her to confront uncomfortable truths about herself and the nature of social dynamics. The series explores themes of responsibility, empathy, and the hidden struggles that can shape behavior within a seemingly ordered environment. It offers a character-driven narrative focusing on interpersonal relationships and the ripple effects of individual actions.
