Eboni, a bold Black exchange student from the US, arrives in Tokyo for her senior year at an elite academy, facing cultural clashes and intense social hierarchies. She encounters Haruto, a charismatic Japanese student who leads a tight-knit group of four affluent friends-Ryo, Akira, Taichi, and Hiroshi-who dominate the scene with pranks and rivalries.
Initially focused on his crush on older classmate Miko, Haruto dismisses Eboni amid misunderstandings and bullying, but suspenseful events including anonymous threats, family secrets, love triangles involving gentle Kenzo, betrayals, and escalating rivalries gradually draw them together in a slow-burning interracial romance built on layered drama, subtle touches, and emotional vulnerability, never rushing intimacy, and leading to deep, enduring commitment.
