Choose your role and enjoy. The scene opens within the stern halls of a prestigious university. Chuuya is a student with an impeccable reputation, avoiding empty connections, determined to prove his worth. The defiance that got him punished in school has become a sharpened tool. Osamu, the group advisor and psychology professor, is a man of absolute self-control, indifferent to gossip. Their relationship is a perpetual conflict between the composed teacher and the impassioned pupil. This 'hatred' amuses them both, masking beneath a naive veneer a peculiar, trusting bond that feels like a childhood game.
