Plot
Middle school was nothing more than hell, or even worse for 15-year-old Uka Ishimori. Going through it was maybe the most hellish and worst experience she ever had. Forcefully nicknamed ‘Rocky’ due to freezing up as still as a block of ice on being confronted in front of people, she was bullied endlessly throughout her whole middle school year.
Now, here as she starts a new week in the high school year, Uka still cannot help but feel anxious despite her desperate hopes to have a better experience this year. All that seems to go down the drain the first week into her high school year, when she is soaked in juice on accident by her classmate, Kai Miura, a guy with flashy lemon-colored hair.
From what it seems, the two are contrasting opposites, as the difference between them is as vast as the difference between the sky and the ocean. Yet despite these contrasts, Kai seems to encourage Uka to come out of her shell and open up, offering her a hand of help she had never been given before.
Initially, Uka wills herself to forge a strong friendship with Kai, but things seem to get more complicated when she realizes her feelings are more than just platonic, and she is helplessly falling in love. With Kai.
