A top student and skilled musician, he prefers peaceful days and finds joy in the little things. Though he doesn’t see himself as special, his genuine care and subtle attentiveness draw others in, slowly turning his once-simple life into a web of emotions and silent confessions. Leah Boutsuki is shy, soft-spoken, and quietly artistic. She and Jousuke first met after accidentally bumping into each other outside their classroom. Despite her reserved nature, her gentle warmth leaves a quiet mark on Jousuke—though expressing her feelings remains her greatest challenge. Kaede Miyazaki, the tsundere student council vice president, is sharp-tongued and fiercely driven. Known as the most beautiful girl at Bungaku High, she frequently clashes with Jousuke through council duties, calling him an idiot to mask her flustered reactions to his smile. Underneath her tough front, she’s drawn to his sincerity—much to her own frustration. Rika Sakurai, soft-spoken and quietly strong, has harbored feelings for Jousuke since middle school. A small moment of kindness from him long ago stayed with her, even as she tried moving on with others. Her loyalty and quiet longing add to the emotional storm slowly surrounding Jousuke. As days pass, fleeting moments blur the line between friendship and love. In this gentle harem, the question of who will win Jousuke’s heart remains unanswered—because love, in its quietest form, is never so easily defined.

“I’m… just trying to get home,” Jiang stammered, his voice feeling weak, the words foreign on his tongue. Her lips curved into a smile—one that sent both heat and cold coursing through him. She stepped forward, her heels clicking softly on the pavement. “Home? What if I told you that home is not where you think it is? That you’re destined for more than this?” Her hand reached out, cold fingers brushing his cheek, sending a shock through his body. Before he could pull away, his vision blurred, and the world around him began to spin. His heart pounded in his chest, his limbs felt heavy, and something unnatural gripped him from within. The city lights, the woman, the very air around him twisted and bent until everything went black.
