Cupid is Struck by Lightning

Shingo, a first-year high school student, has built a quiet reputation as the campus’s most reliable source of romantic intelligence. Operating essentially as a one-man information network, he leverages his naturally easygoing personality and exceptional conversational skills to uncover details about anyone’s crush. In exchange for modest compensation—usually just a classmate's lunch—he can track down whatever his peers need to know. His effortless charm allows him to talk to anyone without hesitation, making him an invaluable resource throughout the school. However, Shingo’s usual confidence falters when he crosses paths with Ao, a striking yet intimidating second-year student. Despite carrying a gloomy aura and bearing a mysterious scar across his face, Ao remains surprisingly popular among his peers. For reasons Shingo cannot quite explain, he finds himself uncharacteristically tongue-tied in the older boy’s presence. The dynamic shifts entirely when Shingo inadvertently uncovers a hidden secret about Ao—one completely unrelated to the scar on his face. As this revelation comes to light, Shingo begins to realize that his feelings toward the enigmatic upperclassman are quietly transforming into something far more complicated than mere curiosity.
