I, Maki Maehara, was the loner boy in my class, until I made my first friend, Umi Asanagi. Asanagi is always at the center of attention, and boys considered her to be "the second cutest girl in the class." I thought I was just a guy in the shadows, living in a completely different world from her, but it turned out that she liked B-movies, too! Now Asanagi-san secretly comes over to my house on Fridays after school. We have a great time together, as we share the same interests in movies, games, and manga.
"Sit next to me and we can read manga together."
"This is my bed......."
"It's my bed for now. Come on, come over here."
Isn't that a bit too close, Asanagi-san?

"What lies beyond the curtains ... is a world I will probably never come in contact with."
Chidori High, a boys' school predominantly attended by students with low grades, is loathed by Kikyo Girls' High, whose pupils mostly come from wealthy and prestigious families. Although the two schools are right next to each other, the curtains in the windows are always closed, and the students have never seen inside the other school's classrooms. Chidori student Rintaro Tsumugi has always had an intimidating appearance, so as other people have avoided him, he too has distanced himself from others.
One day, while Rintaro is helping at his family's patisserie, he meets a girl named Kaoruko, who tells him she has never once thought of him as "scary."
Despite some confusion, Rintaro starts to feel comfortable spending time with Kaoruko, who treats him without prejudice — but he soon discovers that she is a student at Kikyo.
A vibrant and youthful school story unfolds between two people who are so close, yet so far apart.
