School has never been her strong suit. Between struggling to keep up with grades and dealing with the weight of losing her parents years ago, she's barely managing to hold it all together. With only her older sister to rely on, life has become a constant cycle of trying to get by without falling apart.
Then there's Kageyama Tobio-her biggest rival. Arrogant, short-tempered, and just as bad at school as she is. They've been butting heads for as long as she can remember, constantly competing, constantly trying to prove who's better. But when their teacher forces them into a group project together, their rivalry becomes the least of their problems.
Neither of them can afford to fail, and for once, they have to find a way to work together. Between late-night study sessions, heated arguments, and the unexpected realization that they might understand each other more than they thought, the lines between competition and something more begin to blur.
But with the pressure of school, the weight of her past, and the fear of letting someone in, she's not sure if this partnership will change everything for the better-or just make things more complicated.
