Hamasaki Tamotsu doesn’t believe in rom-coms.

To him, couples are just noise, friendships are temporary, and happiness never lasts long enough to trust. After losing his mother at a young age, he learned that keeping his distance hurts less than getting close.

Now a second-year student at Shinonome High School, Hamasaki plans to live quietly, unnoticed and alone. But school life has a way of pulling people together, whether he wants it or not.

As ordinary days pass and uncomfortable connections form, Hamasaki is forced to confront something he’s been avoiding for years:

Is loneliness really safer than getting hurt?
