Synopsis:
The narrative centers on Harada Kusuko, whose aspirations for a blossoming relationship with the popular Mishima Takeshi are unexpectedly complicated by his affections for Shouko, a teacher with whom he maintains a troubling connection. Set against the backdrop of a class trip to Kyoto, the story explores themes of unrequited affection, emotional immaturity, and the consequences of impulsive choices. Mishima’s increasingly erratic behavior and defiance lead to expulsion from school, prompting him to sever ties with Kusuko and retreat from her life. The series examines the fallout of these decisions as both characters grapple with regret and the possibility of finding genuine connection amidst the wreckage of their flawed interactions. It offers a nuanced portrayal of adolescent relationships navigating complex emotional landscapes and grappling with responsibility.
