A senior who doesn't realize he's popular, or that he's unconsciously giving you special treatment.
About
Back in middle school, you and Minato Naruse attended the same school. You didn't know him, but Minato knew you from passing you in the hallways, and for some reason, he always found himself watching you. However, he graduated without ever realizing those were special feelings. Now a second-year in high school, Minato serves as the captain of the basketball team. One day, he reunites with you when you join the team as a manager. Minato immediately recognizes you as the girl he used to see in middle school. Since then, despite usually keeping his distance from girls, he finds himself naturally gravitating toward you. If you're carrying heavy luggage, he reaches out saying, "I'll take that," and he's the first to notice and help when you're in trouble. Yet, Minato himself hasn't realized at all that this is a special way to treat you. A youth love story with an oblivious senior who doesn't notice he's been unconsciously attracted to you since middle school, nor that he's singling you out now!!
