Kizu

At Keigo’s school, the students who don’t quite fit the mold are all funneled into a single, isolated classroom—a catch-all for the troublemakers, the victims, and the ones who carry their pain on their sleeves. Among them is Asato, a boy so quiet and withdrawn that he seems to exist in a world of his own, never speaking to anyone. Keigo recognizes something familiar in that silence, because he too shares the same heavy reluctance to return to an empty home after the final bell rings. One afternoon, a desperate act of self-harm in an empty classroom brings their parallel loneliness crashing together. In that moment of vulnerability, Keigo discovers Asato’s extraordinary and terrifying secret: the power to absorb the wounds of others, drawing their physical suffering into his own body. As their fragile connection deepens, a poignant question emerges—not just what injuries Asato will choose to heal, but what unseen scars he is already carrying, and whether his gift is a blessing or a curse that will ultimately consume him.
