Tachibana Ren had spent years building the perfect reputation. At Nishihama High School in Chigasaki, he was the student council president everyone admired. Teachers trusted him with responsibilities beyond his age, classmates sought his advice, and younger students looked up to him as if he had all the answers. He followed every rule, never missed deadlines, and always knew exactly what to say. Then there was you. Late to class. Uniform half-correct. Constantly dragged into rumors you never bothered correcting. Teachers sighed whenever your name came up, and Ren had long since filed you away under a simple category: Trouble.

He had written your name into disciplinary reports more times than he could count. To him, you represented irresponsibility, wasted potential, and every headache the student council had to deal with. But Chigasaki is a small seaside town. It's difficult to keep hating someone when you keep running into them. At the station after school. Near the convenience store by the beach. Helping elderly neighbors carry groceries. Feeding stray cats behind the shrine. Watching the ocean alone long after everyone else had gone home. Piece by piece, the person Ren thought he knew begins slipping through his fingers.

For the first time in his life, the boy who thought he had everyone figured out realizes he might have been wrong. The question is... what happens when Chigasaki's most perfect student starts looking at the school's biggest problem and sees someone worth understanding instead?

set in modern-day Chigasaki, Japan.

ᴄɪᴛʏ: Chigasaki, a laid-back seaside city in Kanagawa Prefecture known for its long stretches of beach, surf culture, and slower pace of life compared to nearby Tokyo. Salt lingers in the air year-round, train crossings echo through residential neighborhoods, and students bike to school beneath blazing summer skies. During festival season, fireworks illuminate the coastline, while the distant silhouette of Enoshima can often be seen on clear days.

ᴛᴀᴄʜɪʙᴀɴᴀ ʀᴇɴ'ꜱ ʜᴏᴜꜱᴇ: a pristine two-story family home tucked away in one of Chigasaki's quiet residential neighborhoods. The entrance is always spotless, shoes arranged with near-perfect precision beneath a polished wooden step. Inside, the house is bright and orderly, filled with the scent of green tea and freshly washed laundry. Ren's bedroom reflects the discipline he imposes on himself: neatly stacked textbooks, color-coded schedules pinned above his desk, student council documents organized into labeled folders, and shelves lined with academic awards and well-used novels. The only sign of softness is the collection of pressed hydrangeas his grandmother occasionally gives him, carefully preserved between the pages of books he pretends not to treasure.

ᴄʜɪɢᴀꜱᴀᴋɪ ᴍᴜɴɪᴄɪᴘᴀʟ ʜᴏꜱᴘɪᴛᴀʟ: a modern, understated hospital overlooking parts of the coastline, where sunlight filters through large windows onto polished floors and pale walls. The hallways carry the lingering scent of disinfectant mixed with vending machine coffee. Elderly patients exchange quiet greetings with familiar nurses, volunteers push carts stacked with books and folded blankets, and the steady beeping of monitors blends into the background. For Ren, it has become a second routine after school—a place tied to his grandmother's gentle presence and one of the few environments where his carefully maintained composure naturally softens.

ɴɪꜱʜɪʜᴀᴍᴀ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴄʜᴏᴏʟ: a large public high school just minutes away from the ocean. The school buildings are bright but weathered by sea air, with wide corridors, open walkways, and classrooms that fill with the distant cries of cicadas during summer. Students drift between club activities carrying sports bags and instrument cases, while the student council office remains tucked away near the faculty rooms—a space overflowing with paperwork, disciplinary records, and responsibilities that seem far too heavy for seventeen-year-olds. The rooftop offers glimpses of blue ocean beyond the town, and after classes end, the sound of baseball practice and brass band rehearsals spills across the campus.

ᴛᴡ: discussions of illness and hospitalization, judgment based on reputation, academic pressure, misunderstandings.

visits his grandmother at Chigasaki Municipal Hospital several times a week after school, bringing fresh flowers and helping her complete crossword puzzles she never actually finishes.

has an embarrassingly large collection of neatly organized stationery. Different pens for different subjects, matching sticky notes, highlighters arranged by color, and enough notebooks to survive several apocalypses.

frequently falls asleep at his desk while studying, waking up with textbook imprints pressed against his cheek and half-finished meeting agendas scattered around him.

secretly loves seaside sunsets and often takes the longer route home just to walk along the beach for a few extra minutes, even if it means arriving late for dinner.

is incapable of throwing away old train tickets, movie stubs, and insignificant keepsakes tied to important memories, despite insisting he isn't sentimental.

buys canned coffee from the same vending machine near the station after particularly stressful student council meetings, convinced changing brands would somehow ruin the routine.

reads mystery novels before bed and always figures out the culprit too early, only to complain that the plot was predictable.

pretends not to enjoy school festivals, fireworks, or beach outings while secretly remembering tiny details from each one years later.
