Synopsis:
—The world beyond the curtain. A world that has nothing to do with me for the rest of my life.— Chidori, a bottom-tier all-boys school full of so-called idiots, is disliked by the prestigious all-girls school, Kikyo Academy. The curtains are always drawn, and the classrooms in the neighboring school building have never once been visible. Rintaro Tsumugi, a student at Chidori, is often judged by his appearance as scary and avoided by others. Over time, he grew used to keeping his distance from people. One day, while helping out at his family's cake shop, he meets a customer—Kaoruko. “I’ve never once thought you were scary, Rintaro-kun.” Though confused by her kindness and how she treats him without prejudice, Rintaro begins to find comfort in the time they spend together. But as it turns out, Kaoruko is a student at Kikyo… A vivid school story of two students—so near, yet so far—woven together in the colors of youth.
