Asahi Kagami—a rather outgoing guy with a tendency to try to help anyone in need—happens to be neighbors and classmates with a girl named Fuyuka Himuro. At school, she's been nicknamed "The Ice Queen" by her classmates, and for good reason: she prefers to keep everyone at arm's length and seldom talks to others. Neither Fuyuka nor Asahi have had a chance to interact with each other yet, but Asahi's tendency to meddle in other people's business slowly but surely marks the beginning of a relationship that blooms into something more... This is a love story between two adolescents. It is a story filled with laughs, tears, and character-focused development.
