Synopsis (Taken from RoyalRoad):

My name is Kobayashi Miya, a freshman at ‘Haru High School’.

I am what people refer to as an untouchable existence. A girl that is just for them to admire and judge as they see fit. A mannequin that can be manipulated by their overbearing expectations and desires.

Even those around me see me as someone of exalted status, someone superior to them, someone they should look up to and admire for what they think I am… A perfect woman who excels in everything. 

However, all of them are completely wrong, I am just a normal girl… Scared, timid, naive, and above all else, hopelessly in love…


My name is Kawashima Takumi, a freshman at ‘Haru High School’.

I am just an above-average student you could find anywhere. A run-of-the-mill high-schooler who gets enough marks and plays sports for enjoyment.

My existence is that of a person whom one could easily live without feeling a sense of loss, but wouldn’t mind having around to give their lives that extra something. 

Or, is that just how I want people to perceive me as I peacefully wash away my quiet high-school days? 

Nobody would care enough to find out if not for her entering my life.
