Yui Ayanokoji, an honor student bound by tradition and responsibility yet yearning for freedom, and Tsuki Akiba, a free-spirited rock girl full of rebellious energy.

During our university days, she was the senior in the literary club everyone admired—Yoshino Sakurai. Years later, she reappeared before me as a reliable senior at the workplace. At work, she is flawless, exuding an aura that feels almost untouchable.

This is a gentle love story that begins in the office, where admiration and reality intersect.
