Shion Kojima prefers to fade into the background, avoiding attention at all costs. Unfortunately for him, his classmates seem determined to pull him into their world, especially Michiko Takahashi, the smartest girl in class, whose presence alone disrupts his carefully maintained distance.
One day, while trying to escape unwanted attention, Shion crosses paths with Hanako Haruka, a shy girl from the class next door. What begins as an ordinary encounter slowly challenges the way Shion views connections, isolation, and the meaning of being noticed.
