Shido High School is a private boys’ boarding school located halfway up a remote mountain.
Now in his second year, Hayama Takumi becomes roommates with Saki Giichi, drawing jealous and hostile looks from the other students.
In truth, Takumi and Giichi are lovers—a relationship they have kept hidden from everyone else.
While Takumi feels happiness, he is also plagued by the fear that revealing everything about himself might lead to rejection.
Giichi, meanwhile, struggles with a relationship that feels close yet unreachable, gradually losing sight of Takumi’s true feelings.
When Giichi learns of a persistent third-year student, Nozaki, who has begun approaching Takumi, his jealousy and dissatisfaction quietly begin to build.
Within Shido Academy, unspoken emotions intersect in silence.
Takabayashi Izumi, the school’s Madonna-like figure, and his roommate Yoshizawa Michio harbor mutual feelings they cannot bring themselves to confess.
First-year student Shinkyoji Kanematsu feels a strong attraction to Mis Arata, a senior he met during the entrance exams, but Mis remains consistently cold and distant.
And toward Akaike Shozo, a friend of Takumi and Giichi, his classmate Shibata Shun quietly nurtures feelings of his own.
