During his three years of high school, Atsushi attended school so diligently that he never missed or was late to a single class, earning him a perfect attendance award. However, he was unable to keep up with his studies and shockingly had to repeat a year. Meanwhile, Seijiro, a classmate who lives next door, is famous for his excellent grades and managed to get into a prestigious university on his first try. Moreover, Seijiro's mother, Yuki, constantly berates Atsushi, calling him stupid and pitiful, which made him lose interest in everything and feel that life didn't matter anymore. It was during this low point that Yuki came to Atsushi's house with the neighborhood bulletin board, as no one else was there.
