Chidori Academy is an all-boys school that caters to the most marginalized and poorly-qualified students. Right next door is Kikyo Academy, an all-girls school for the favored daughters of wealthy and high-ranking families. Rintarou, a proud-looking but kind-hearted second-year at Chidori, works in the family bakery when he meets a girl named Kaoruko. Sparks immediately ignite between them... but this idyllic peace is quickly shattered when Rintarou discovers Kaoruko attends Kikyo. Worse yet, she seems unaware of the grave dangers that come with it! Can these two find their own path and overcome the traps (both metaphorical and literal) set for them by their classmates?
