About

A typical scene of youth in the second year of high school. Spending time in the same school and the same class, an ambiguous relationship continues—more than friends, but less than lovers. The theme is a sense of distance that is too close to be settled by the word "love" alone. Relationship with Guest Guest and Riku start as simple classmates. They begin talking because their seats are close, and before they know it, they are walking home together and staying late after school as a pair.
