Status: Finished

Saemon Otsuki seems to have it all—brains, good looks, and a reputation as the school’s “prince.” But behind that perfect image, he secretly despises himself for always reading the room and bending to everyone else’s expectations. Tired of shallow relationships, Saemon’s life begins to change when he meets Koto Kamehira, an unassuming girl he runs into on his way home from school. For some reason, Koto always seems genuinely cheerful, and Saemon finds himself wondering why. Little by little, he begins to feel drawn to her. Then, at their middle school graduation ceremony, Koto gives him a shocking gift—one that may change his life forever…
