Takahashi Takashi, having confessed to his childhood friend only to be turned down, finds himself on the rooftop where he discovers a teary-eyed girl. She is Shirayuki Himeno, renowned as the school’s beauty. Despite the blow of rejection, Takashi inquires about the reason behind her tears. It appears that Himeno had been confronted by girls who harbored ill feelings towards her, subjecting her to harsh criticisms and jealousy. Inadvertently, Takashi ends up embracing Himeno. Offering words of solace, he tells her, “When times are tough, it’s okay to cry,” and lends her his chest. Once her tears subside, Himeno, expressing gratitude, declares, “Next time, Takahashi-kun, it’s your turn to find comfort in my embrace.” Learning about Takashi’s rejection by his childhood friend, Himeno wishes to console him as a form of thanks. As the two share moments of solace, their companionship grows, and whether consciously or not, they begin radiating affection, earning them the amusing title of a foolish couple by onlookers. Amidst the gradually diminishing distance, a heartwarming and comical love story unfolds between Takashi, who believes the school’s beauty could never reciprocate his feelings, and Himeno, who remains oblivious to the fact that her childhood friend still harbors affections for her. The protagonist initially holds feelings for his childhood friend but experiences a shift in emotions as he spends more time with the main heroine, Shirayuki Himeno.
