When love is involved, does age, gender, religion, politics, or anything of that nature really and truly matter? Ashiya Mizuki entered Osaka high as a young disguised as a boy to meet her idol - Sano Izuki. Her intentions involved persuading Sano to return to the high jumping world. Along with her goal, she needs to keep her a gender a secret or else she would be expelled. Upon her first day of school, she meets an interesting guy - Nakatsu Shuuichi, the prodigal soccer player who intends to become an international world renowned soccer player. With his bleach blonde hair, caramel brown eyes, and exquisite physique, any girl from St. Blossoms would be starstruck by his aura. But, unknown to the girls, he has his heart set on Ashiya, the new exchange student from America. He does not know the truth behind Ashiya's gender, yet he still adores her. During the night of Sano's scolding of Ashiya, Nakatsu notices her crying alone and finally confesses his feelings.
"I love you. I may not be Sano, but I would never hurt you, make you cry, or anything else of the like. My only thought and purpose would be to protect you from any harm."
Ashiya could not belive what she had just heard from Nakatsu.
"Umm...Nakatsu, I really appreciate..."
"No, I do not want to hear it unless you are returning my feelings. I will wait for you until then."
"But..."
"Shhh...did you not just hear me? I said I don't want to hear it. God, is it that hard for you to understand? Do I need to speak in English? I no here ok?"
And then the unexpected happened. Amongst the falling tears down her slender face, came a laugh out of her petite mouth. Nakatsu finally realized something: even if she doesn't love him, he still wanted to stay by her side and make her smile.
