Yoshioka Futaba is a lively Japanese teen girl who is fed up with romance. She decides to pursue friendship alone with her female friends. One day a mysterious boy enters her school--a boy who looks mysteriously like her former crush, a boy who broke her heart in junior high. The new boy, Ko Mabuchi, insults Yoshioka and makes fun of her friends. Ko Mabuchi is nothing like the boy she had known, who was a sweet and kind boy--yet as it happens Ko is indeed the boy she had known from before, and she soon falls in love with him anew. But does Ko have feelings for Yoshioka? And where did he disappear to for so many years? Can Yoshioka trust her heart with this boy, or will he break her heart once again...
