In the first year of high school, Shizuku Mizutani ( 水 谷 雫 ), an ambitious student who cares nothing but her academic performance, sits next to Haru Yoshida ( 吉田 春 ), who is notorious for his rough dealings and fights. But he is almost never at school, so Shizuku is sent to his home to bring him teaching materials. After the meeting, Haru takes a liking to Shizuku and ends up coming back to school every day. Shizuku initially rejects him, she doesn't trust him. But over time they both get closer and make two friends in two of their classmates, the lonely and less successful Asako Natsume ( 夏 目 あ さ 子 ) and the popular Sōhei Sasahara ( 佐 々 原 宗 平 ).
