Eishi effortlessly commands attention wherever he goes. Intelligent, athletic, and strikingly handsome, he embodies the archetype of the perfect student. Yet beneath this polished exterior lies a deep-seated cynicism. He finds human interaction tedious and views the concept of love as nothing more than an exhausting distraction. Preferring solitude over social entanglements, Eishi actively avoids emotional connections, convinced that people and romance are simply not worth his time or energy. His carefully maintained distance from others is disrupted when his teacher assigns him to tutor a classmate named Uta. Initially, Eishi dreads the arrangement, anticipating that spending extra hours with her will be an unbearable burden. He fully expects Uta to be irritating and resents being forced into a situation that demands his patience and involvement. However, as their study sessions progress, the dynamic between them begins to shift in ways Eishi never anticipated. The annoyance he initially felt gradually gives way to something unexpected. Against his own firmly held beliefs about the burdensome nature of relationships, he finds his guarded heart slowly softening, leaving him drawn to the very girl he once considered a nuisance.
