Hitohito Tadano is an average teenager who steps onto his first day of high school with a straightforward aim: steer clear of trouble and fit in. His plan crumbles instantly when he sits next to the campus icon—Shouko Komi. The other students now see him as a target, hoping to claim the seat beside the most stunning girl.
Komi, with her long dark hair and elegant bearing, is adored everywhere yet keeps a mysterious air. Unknown to all, she suffers from severe anxiety and a speech disorder that stops her from fully engaging with classmates.
Alone in the classroom, circumstances push Komi to communicate with Tadano by writing on the board, like a one‑way dialogue. Realizing she can"t speak normally, Tadano grabs chalk and starts writing back. He learns that Komi"s ambition is to make a hundred friends while she"s in high school, and he decides to help her—becoming her first friend.
Each note reveals a fragment of her world, and Tadano learns that kindness can bridge even the widest gaps. Their bond becomes the heart of the class. Their quiet partnership becomes a beacon that draws others closer today.
