Summary
My youth, I, Rindou Arata, a second-year high school student aiming for the national tournament with the soccer club while enjoying a perfectly smooth sailing daily life with my girlfriend and club manager Matsunami Karen on our days off, was flawless in every way.
At least… until that day.
Right after entering our second year, I witnessed my girlfriend Karen cheating with my best friend Kayama Hayato. In response, the two of them colluded and pinned a false accusation of DV (domestic violence) on me. From the very next day, I completely lost my place in the classroom. Even the soccer club—the very reason I had chosen this school—was quick to expel me, leaving me on the brink of dropping out.
The one who reached out a helping hand to someone like me was Tozawa Yuuka, my little sister’s best friend. Two years earlier, I had confessed my feelings to her only to be gently turned down.
“Whenever it gets too painful… you can cry freely in front of me, and only me.”
Even though I was the one she had once rejected, she supported me with genuine kindness. With her by my side, the two of us fought desperately to prove my innocence.
And then—though it may sound far too convenient—before I knew it, I found myself chasing after her with everything I had, the same girl who had once devoted herself to me more than anyone else.
