CLASSROOM OF THE ELITE PRESENT TO YOU:
SHATTERED BONDS
▪︎◇
At the prestigious Advanced Nurturing High School, where competition and manipulation are the keys to success, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka has lived a life of isolation, shaped by the cold and calculated experiments of his father. But when a new teacher named Anzai Kazue joins the school, Kiyotaka's carefully constructed world begins to unravel.
Kazue, a 24-year-old with striking white hair and piercing yellow eyes, has recently discovered a painful truth-his father, who raised him in a loving household, had another son: Kiyotaka. Born from a woman paid to carry the perfect child, Kiyotaka was the result of their father's twisted obsession with creating an ideal human. Kazue, who resembles his gentle mother but carries his father's unmistakable eyes, feels a deep sense of obligation to the family he never knew he had.
Driven by his desire to connect with his estranged brother, Kazue takes a teaching position at Kiyotaka's school. He quickly realizes that his brother has been moulded into a cold, calculating figure-a product of their father's cruel experiments. While Kiyotaka remains distant and suspicious, Kazue, with his kind and compassionate nature, is determined to break through his brother's emotional walls.
As Kazue navigates the dangerous power dynamics of the school, he must confront the realities of his father's dark legacy and fight to build a bond with Kiyotaka. But in a world where trust is a rare commodity, and everyone hides their true intentions, can Kazue reach Kiyotaka's heart before it's too late?
