Botan is the school's suicidal outcast, ignored and invisible. No one would really care if he just disappeared.
Well until Aiko shows up, that is.
Aiko is the new kid at school, optimistic and kind. Botan falls for him hard and fast. However, beyond Botan's yearning for death and Aiko's captivating smiles, the lines of who needs saving most begin to blur. When Botan lashes out at Aiko, it sets off a chain of events that the boy never thought possible. Now, Botan must reconcile with Aiko, or else risk losing the one thing that made living worth it.
