Determined to escape the bitter social isolation caused by middle school jealousy, Futaba Yoshioka enters high school with a singular mission: deliberately act unladylike and aloof so she can finally fit in with her female peers. Her calculated reinvention hits a wall when she encounters Kou Mabuchi, her first love who vanished years ago without a trace. While Futaba is eager to rekindle their past connection, she discovers that the gentle boy she once knew has transformed into a cold, detached stranger who insists they can never go back. Navigating the delicate balance between authentic self-expression and unrequited nostalgia, Futaba embarks on a journey of growth, discovering that while the past cannot be reclaimed, true emotional resonance can still be found in the present.
