Veiled Pain | Riki Nishimura

After Asami Ayama starts school in a new town, she already faces the most problematic boy in her new class, who is hated but also loved by his classmates. He seems to tease or even bully everyone when he feels like it.

However, Asami starts to notice things in him that his other classmates haven't noticed, or simply haven't cared about.

What if things are not as well as you'd think? If something just isn't right?
