Owning many of the most popular companies around Japan, young 17 year old highschooler, Okada Kaede, is struggling to find his place in the world. He has everything the average person wants, money, looks, smarts, athletic ability, even a butler, but there's one thing Kaede has never had. Love. In the second semester of his final year of highschool, a transfer student with a mysterious background suddenly joins the ranks at Mayatake Academy Arts, a prestigious artistic school. This mysterious student known as Sakisaka Akira left a mark on Kaede and he found himself slowing falling for Akira. Without realization, Kaede knew. As the year ended, Kaede neglected to confess his feelings to Akira, and decided to shut his feelings out. But...
3 and a half years later Akira makes his way into college, that ironically Kaede had been enrolled into. After a fateful meet, Akira, at first, has no memory of ever meeting an Okada, but soon realizes. Having not been able to get over his one-sided feelings, Kaede hasn't been able to fall in love since and after seeing Akira's face after so long, realizes that he never got over him. Will love finally start blooming in Akira's lonely heart or will he crack under pressure?
