Dare mo Shiranai Kimi no Koto

Ryo is instantly captivated by Otori, a quiet and seemingly aloof classmate who keeps the rest of the world at arm's length. Despite Otori’s unfriendly demeanor, Ryo finds himself falling in love at first sight, driven by an overwhelming desire to break through that icy exterior. Determined to bridge the distance between them, Ryo begins making earnest attempts to grow closer, inviting Otori to share meals during lunch breaks and suggesting they walk home together after classes end. However, his efforts are met with persistent silence. Otori remains deeply reticent, offering little to no response to Ryo's friendly overtures. As the days pass, this constant emotional wall begins to wear on Ryo, replacing his initial hope with mounting frustration. The lack of acknowledgment feels unbearable, turning his affection into a restless and agonizing tension. The breaking point arrives one afternoon after school. Unable to contain the storm of emotions any longer, Ryo abandons his cautious approach entirely. Driven by desperation and a need to finally force a reaction from the unyielding classmate, he takes a sudden, bold step—and physically pushes Otori to the ground, crossing a line that will forever change the dynamic between them.
