Kotoko Kyōmigāru is an 18 year old boy who has an infatuation with girls clothes and lives an odd, but normal, life. Except for one thing. He coughs up flowers. Hanahaki Disease is where a person, who experiences one sided love, begins to throw up and Cough flowers. It was just a silly myth when he first heard about it. But he is experiencing it, firsthand now. His parents have taken him to every medical office in Japan, but nothing. It is very deadly, and the doctors said that he probably wouldn't live past 20 years old. That is, until he met Reiketsu "Rei" Kira.
Reiketsu is a normal girl, for the most part. Her family is normal, she has perfect grades, and she is the most popular girl in school. Except for the fact that she was trained, brutally, to fight others. She is an expert at all things combat. And she has taken a very strong liking towards Kotoko.
When Rei finds out that Kotoko has Hanahaki, she swears on her life that she will help him find a cure, and she knows where to get it.
Shuichi sits in the back of the library, squinting at his computer screen. He reads the definition of hanahaki disease again in his head.
"Hanahaki Disease is a potentially fatal illness caused by the activation of hanahaki seeds ingested into the lungs. Only adolescents or patients with irregular hormones can be affected by this disease. Surgical removal of the plant system alleviates symptoms in 98% of patients."
If what he's reading is true, then why is he starting to cough up flowers again at age eighteen, two years after his "successful" surgery?
