Synopsis:

Isaku Senagaki navigates the transition to high school shadowed by a complex past. Raised by her grandfather, a yakuza boss, Isaku seeks an ordinary experience – friendship, romance, and a life unbound from her family's legacy. This aspiration is complicated by Keiya Utou, a man who infiltrates her school to remain close to her, acting as both guardian and admirer.

Keiya’s unwavering protectiveness, born from a sense of responsibility towards Isaku, creates an isolating dynamic. While Isaku develops feelings for him, their connection remains one-sided, hindered by Keiya's inability to recognize her desire for independence. The series explores the difficulties of forging one's own path when bound by familial obligations and the delicate balance between care and control in burgeoning relationships. It presents a nuanced portrayal of navigating personal desires against established circumstances.
