Koi wa Hikari

Saijou is an ordinary college student burdened with an extraordinary ability: he can perceive a girl's romantic feelings as visible, shimmering sparkles. Because no such light has ever shone in his direction, he has grown accustomed to keeping his distance from women. The sole exception is Kitashiro, a close friend he has known since middle school, whose presence offers him a rare sense of comfort away from the overwhelming glow of unrequited affections. His carefully guarded routine shifts when he crosses paths with Shinonome, a girl who openly admits she does not understand what love truly is. Intrigued by her honest confusion and recognizing a shared sense of emotional detachment, Saijou sees a reflection of himself in her. Rather than avoiding her as he would others, he chooses to step forward and become her friend. Together, these two kindred spirits embark on a quiet journey to explore the nature of romance, navigating a world where feelings are both invisible and brilliantly bright.
