Rintarou, a Chidori High student with a fierce exterior, meets Kaoruko at his family's patisserie—only to discover she attends the elite Kikyo Girls' High next door. Their unexpected connection challenges the longstanding rivalry between the schools, forcing the pair to navigate obstacles and prejudices set by their classmates. This comedy-romance explores whether love can transcend social divides.

Chidori High is a boys’ school that takes in the dregs of society with the lowest grades. Next door stands Kikyo Girls’ High, where the wealthy, high-class families send their precious daughters. Chidori second-year Rintarou, who has a fierce face but a gentle heart, is helping at his family’s patisserie when he meets a girl named Kaoruko. The two hit it off right away…but this blissful peace is quickly disturbed when Rintarou discovers that Kaoruko is actually a student at Kikyo. Worse, she doesn’t seem to realize what a huge problem this really is! Will these two be able to forge a path for themselves, and sidestep the traps (metaphorical and literal) laid by their classmates? (Source: Kodansha USA)
