Tendou Tsukasa is a first-year high school student attending one of the prefecture's leading academic high schools.

In his class, there is a beautiful, refined girl who perfectly embodies the ideal of a "Yamato Nadeshiko."

Stunningly beautiful, academically brilliant, and the daughter of a company president—a truly flawless beauty, Himekawa Anri.

But to him, she is a distant figure, living in a completely different world.

He has intentionally avoided any involvement with her.

As his days passed uneventfully, one night, he encounters her.

She was sitting alone on a bench in front of the station. Normally, he would have passed by without saying a word.

However, this time, he spoke to her.

She had a large duffel bag beside her, separate from her school bag, and was staring into the distance.

It was late at night, a time when she would normally have long since returned home.

"What are you doing out at this hour? Go home already."

Turning her eyes to him, she replied, biting her lip.

"Tendou-san? It's none of your business."

"I see. Be careful on your way home."

The protagonist, who, despite being easily bothered, cannot leave her alone, and the heroine, who, while putting on a brave front, is touched by his kindness and gradually drawn to him.

They come to live together under one roof, develop feelings for each other, and their distance slowly closes.

Their story continues even after they start dating, and someday, the two of them...

A love story isn't just about their feelings reaching each other.

It's a love story that continues long after their feelings are mutual and they begin their journey together.

"Who lives in your heart?"
