Koyuki Hikawa has always stayed away. She is quiet, shy, and uncomfortable around other people. At school, she has built an emotional wall and chooses to be alone instead of with others every day.
When Minato Amamiya keeps trying to reach her, things start to change. For reasons she doesn’t fully understand, he won’t give up. He slowly breaks down her defenses and brings her into an unexpected group of friends that includes the popular Miki and the easygoing basketball player Youta.
As their lives become more connected, what starts out as awkward and unsure interactions slowly turns into something deeper. The series takes a soft and heartfelt look at friendship, growing up, and the problems that come with being young.
