Synopsis

In middle school, Ayaka Shiramine was the perfect student: hard-working, with excellent grades and a great personality to match. As Ayaka enters high school she expects to still be on top, but one thing she didn't account for is her new classmate, the lazy yet genuine genius Yurine Kurosawa. While Ayaka despises Yurine from the start, but Yurine doesn't seem to share her animosity. Slowly their relationship evolves into something more than just academic rivals.
