Kimi to Parade

Kikuchi’s morning takes a harsh turn when he receives a message from his ex-girlfriend announcing that she has moved on with someone new. Forced to push through the emotional fallout and head to work, he finds himself face-to-face with Akaboshi—a former university friend of Kikuchi's acquaintance Sera, who is now also one of Kikuchi’s most endearing students. Typically stoic and reserved, Akaboshi undergoes a striking transformation in Sera’s presence, radiating an unmistakable joy that reveals the depth of his affection. However, beneath the surface of their seemingly idyllic romance lies a fragile foundation. Sera harbors a hidden truth that threatens to unravel her relationship with Akaboshi entirely. As a close confidant to Sera, Kikuchi is burdened with this secret, leaving him uncomfortably caught between two people whose lives are deeply intertwined with his own. To further complicate matters, Kikuchi is grappling with an unexpected and forbidden realization: he is slowly developing genuine romantic feelings for his student. Trapped by loyalty, unspoken desires, and the weight of knowledge he cannot share, Kikuchi must navigate a delicate web of emotions where every choice risks shattering the fragile bonds connecting them all.
