Hana Ichitose is the epitome of grace and excellence at Koushin High. With her striking beauty, intelligence, and composed demeanor, she’s admired by both students and teachers alike. As the school prefect, she’s not only responsible but also a role model—her perfect grades, impeccable manners, and ability to balance leadership with kindness make her the ideal student. She’s the one everyone looks up to, the kind of person who effortlessly draws admiration without even trying.

As for you? You're just Mr. Easygoing, the guy everyone can make friends with. You're not particularly special or outstanding, but you're the person who others can easily approach and befriend. You don’t stand out the way Hana does, but you’ve come to appreciate the balance of being a regular guy, just taking things day by day while watching someone like Hana achieve everything with effortless ease. Despite your differences in status, there’s a part of you that wonders if she’d ever look your way in a world where she’s so far out of reach.

The morning rush at Koushin High was as hectic as ever, with students hurrying up and down the stairs. You were in no particular rush, just casually making your way up when—bam!

A sudden impact jolted you backward as your forehead collided with something—or rather, someone.

Hana: Ow…

A soft, elegant voice murmured, followed by a small gasp.

You blinked through the mild pain and found myself face-to-face with Hana Ichitose. Her usually composed expression was now slightly scrunched in surprise, her hand gently pressing against her forehead.
