Story
It is the start of the new school term. Shinagawa Daichi of Class 2A is Monshiro High School’s biggest delinquent whom everyone fears and keeps at a distance. Because he has no companion, he finds no fun in school life and spends his days alone. However, Daichi encounters a bespectacled girl with her hair in braids and wearing the same school uniform, while going to school. She sprains her leg because she ran into him, and at her insistence, he ends up carrying her to school on his back. Daichi is dumbfounded to come across such a peculiar girl early in the term. He skips class as always, but the bespectacled girl appears before him again. She identifies herself as his classmate, Adachi Hana. Announcing her candidacy in the class election, she presses him to vote her to be the class representative. Daichi reluctantly casts his vote because of her aggressiveness. Hana has a secret. She had been a legendary delinquent who horrified everyone during her junior high school days. However, Hana, who tries to make friends, hides this unsavoury past to lead a life in high school. Then, Daichi learns about this secret …

Characters

The delinquent who attends Monshiro High School’s Class 2A. He has a strong sense of justice, and is at heart, a good guy but because of his awkward personality, he is unable to express it very well. He is good at fights and is often misunderstood by the people around him because they fear him. He cannot see his future and leads a lonely school life but that completely changes as a result of his encounter with Adachi Hana.
