Haruki Sakura is a kind-hearted student who finds herself caught up in her friend Hitachi Aya's plan to recruit Kenma Kozume into their school's gaming club. Despite Kenma's passion for gaming, he refuses to join the club for some reason, which causes Aya's determination to grow.
When Haruki and Kenma's paths cross more frequently, something unexpected begins to develop. Haruki, initially focused on supporting Aya's goals, starts to see Kenma in a new light. She finds his awkwardness endearing and is drawn to him. As someone who doesn't often play games, she admires Kenma for his impressive skills.
Kenma, on the other hand, begins to struggle with his growing feelings for Haruki. Ever since they were younger, he has always admired Haruki's kindness and beauty. But he wonders if his feelings will ever be one-sided, since the two are barely even considered friends. Will he hide how he feels for her or will he tell her someday?
