In a small town where life moves slowly and everyone knows everyone, Nishimura Riki is impossible to ignore. He’s the school’s biggest troublemaker yet somehow the top student in every exam. Tall, handsome, confident, and surrounded by his tight circle of six friends, he’s the kind of boy teachers complain about but secretly admire. Popular girls chase him, rumors follow him, and his name is always the loudest in the hallways.

Meanwhile, there’s her.

A quiet, poor girl who lives a simple life. She wakes early, helps at home, and cooks her own lunch before walking to school. She’s kind, gentle, and invisible to most people.

She’s liked Riki for years.

But she’s far too shy to approach him, and he has never even noticed she exists.

At school, she sits quietly at the back, trying to stay unnoticed. Her lunch, the food she wakes early to cook, often gets stolen by a group of girls who bully her. Too scared to fight back, she stays silent, pretending it doesn’t hurt.

Everything stays that way… until second year of high school.

When she’s suddenly transferred into Class 2-A.

Riki’s class.

For the first time in his life, the girl who has watched him from afar is suddenly sitting only a few desks away.

And for the first time…

Riki finally notices her.
