Ichigo Syndrome

Itsuki is an ordinary high school student navigating the complexities of adolescence, but she carries a heavy secret that sets her apart from her peers. Behind the closed doors of her everyday school life, she is deeply involved in a hidden romantic relationship with one of her teachers. What began as an unexpected connection has now stretched into six months of stolen moments and careful deception. To the rest of the world, they are simply an educator and his student, yet in private, they share a bond that defies every boundary set by society and the institution they both belong to. For half a year, Itsuki has managed to balance her academic responsibilities with the thrill and anxiety of this forbidden romance. However, maintaining such a dangerous secret exacts a quiet toll, and the fragile equilibrium they have built cannot last forever. As their relationship continues, the looming threat of discovery casts a long shadow over their time together. The very walls of the school that once felt like a safe haven for their clandestine meetings now seem fraught with risk. With every passing day, Itsuki must confront the growing tension between her feelings and the inevitable consequences that await if the truth is finally brought to light.
