Before attending Hope's Peak Academy, Kaede Akamatsu was a shy and timid girl. She regrets not attempting to make new friends at her old school, running straight home to play the piano after school to play the piano, not paying attention in class, and never wanting to participate in anything. This changes when she moves to a new school: Hope's Peak Academy. But becoming friends with her classmates in her homeroom is a bit of a challenge, why? The answer is Rantaro Amami. He's your typical laid-back, playboy looking popular guy at school. Not only will he continuously stare at Kaede, sending her chills down her spine, but also randomly attempt to talk to her... Maybe flirtatiously. What's going on between the two?

Kaede Akamatsu joins Hopes Peak Academy only to find a boy who becomes her best friend, Shuichi Saihara. With friends, enemies, and a hidden past, how will Kaede and Shuichi find out what their relationship holds?
