Everybody has a side they would never want their classmates to see. For the stunning and popular Kyouko Hori, that secret is her grueling life as a domestic homebody, trading after-school hangouts for housework and childcare. For the quiet, supposedly gloomy Izumi Miyamura, it is a hidden collection of piercings and tattoos that would get him suspended in a heartbeat. When an accidental meeting brings these two polar opposites face-to-face in their real lives, the masks they wear at school begin to crumble. Hori just wants a normal teenage experience, but her responsibilities weigh her down, while Miyamura struggles to escape the lonely labels his peers have forced upon him. As they find solace in each other’s hidden truths, they discover that falling in love isn't about finding someone perfect—it is about finding the one person who makes you feel like you do not have to hide anymore. This legendary slice-of-life masterpiece captures every awkward, beautiful, and heart-aching moment of growing up and letting someone in.
