Plot[edit]
When freshman high school student Daisuke Shiba confesses to his delinquent upperclassman Yūji Akiyama in front of all of Akiyama's friends, getting beat up and ridiculed would maybe be understandable. But the events that follow are nowhere near what any of them would expect, as Shiba ends up starting a relationship with Akiyama.
Characters[edit]
- Daisuke Shiba (柴 大輔, Shiba Daisuke)
- A freshman high school student. Shiba fell in love with Akiyama at first sight, after being rescued by him from some bullies at the beginning of the school year. Sweet and kind, he is willing to do anything for Akiyama. He also has a part-time job in a convenience store.
- Yūji Akiyama (秋山 祐二, Akiyama Yūji)
- Shiba's upperclassman, a second year student. Akiyama has a reputation of being a juvenile delinquent, but actually he is a calm, friendly and somewhat melancholic boy. He lives alone in a big house and it's hinted that his strained father is the only family he has.
- Tomomi Sano (佐野 智美, Sano Tomomi)
- Akiyama's friend since middle school. He hates being called by his first name since he considers it a girly name. However, Akiyama is the only one who can call him that way.

- Akiyama's friend. He works in a restaurant.
- Tata (多田)
