Synopsis:

The series follows the intertwined lives of Haruki Mishima and Towa Honda as they navigate the complexities of early adolescence. Set against the backdrop of everyday high school life – classes, extracurriculars, and burgeoning friendships – the story centers on the quiet emotional currents beneath the surface. Haruki grapples with long-held feelings for a childhood acquaintance, while Towa attempts to win the attention of a classmate who remains distant.

The narrative explores the subtle nuances of romantic longing and the challenges of pursuing affection when reciprocation is uncertain. Through relatable situations and gentle character interactions, the anime offers a contemplative look at first love, unrequited desires, and the passage of time as these two young men grapple with their personal aspirations and evolving relationships within a familiar, contemporary setting.
