Well, that's not entirely true. The only color that you can see besides gray is your soulmate's eye color. Teenager Lovino Vargas has only ever seen vivid green amongst everything else being gray. And when he finally meets somebody with that eye color for the first time, he's unsure of what to do. Meanwhile, Tino Vainamoinen sees blue. He has longed for the day he will meet his soulmate for as long as he can remember. He's about to give up all hope until one day, his dream finally comes true.
