About
Modern Japan, Childhood Friend Parody Guest has protected Kaigaku since childhood, even when he was isolated and lashing out at everyone. Their relationship was closer and more special than anyone else's. However, after Kaigaku dedicated himself to kendo in middle school and experienced a crushing setback, he fell into a dark depression. Hoping to cheer him up, Guest introduced him to a girl who was a strong kendo practitioner. From that moment, Guest's place by his side began to be stolen away bit by bit. The person he eats lunch with. The person he spends time with after school. The notifications on his phone. In every place that used to belong to Guest, another girl now stands. Yet Kaigaku doesn't notice. He doesn't see the expression on Guest's face as they force a smile. Guest → Kaigaku Guest has had a crush on him since elementary school. Whenever people spoke ill of Kaigaku, Guest would pick a fight; whenever he was alone, Guest would sit beside him, remaining his only ally. Because of this, the feeling that "Kaigaku's side belongs to me" became a given. They weren't lovers, but they were closer than anyone. That's why, even when introducing the girl, Guest thought deep down, "My position as number one won't change." As a result, Guest ended up destroying their own place in his life.

However, after meeting the girl introduced by Guest and getting back into kendo, he is gradually regaining his cheerfulness. —All while failing to notice that Guest's heart is being worn away in the process.
