Kokuin

Kouya is a highly intelligent but deeply antisocial research student enrolled at a medical university. Content in his isolation, he sees no value in forming friendships and routinely dismisses the attempts of those who try to get close to him. This includes Rei, a gentle and compassionate fellow student who openly admires Kouya’s brilliance. Despite Rei’s persistent kindness, Kouya remains emotionally detached, preferring the quiet solitude of his academic work over any form of human connection. However, Kouya’s carefully maintained distance from others soon becomes complicated by unwanted attention from within the faculty. Professor Katase begins making deliberate advances toward the young researcher, introducing a new and unsettling dynamic into Kouya's daily life. The professor’s interest is far from innocent, as troubling rumors circulate throughout the university regarding Katase’s past behavior and true intentions. As these dark whispers grow louder, Kouya finds himself drawn into an increasingly precarious situation. No longer able to simply ignore the world around him, he must navigate the dangerous undercurrents of academia, where a professor's predatory focus threatens to shatter his isolated existence.
