Itokoi Chidori

Akio Kosato has earned a peculiar reputation among the female student body at his school. Known for his unusual talent in crafting so-called love potions, he frequently helps others navigate their romantic pursuits. Yet, despite being surrounded by matters of the heart, Akio remains entirely overlooked when it comes to his own love life, resigned to playing the role of a behind-the-scenes helper rather than a participant. His quiet, uneventful existence is abruptly upended by the sudden arrival of a mysterious girl named Chidori. Unlike anyone else at school, she singles him out with an intensity that goes far beyond casual interest, showering him with a level of affection and attention he never sought and hardly knows how to handle. Her relentless focus leaves Akio bewildered, forcing him to confront a romantic dynamic he has no experience navigating. As Chidori’s presence becomes impossible to ignore, a startling truth comes to light: she is actually Akio’s long-forgotten cousin. This unexpected revelation does more than just complicate his daily life; it hints at hidden depths within his own lineage. With Chidori now firmly entrenched in his world, Akio begins to realize that there may be far more to his family's history than he ever imagined.
