Synopsis
At my desk in Class 3 of Senior Year, I circled my math mistakes in red pen, unaware that the gazes fixed on me from beyond the window came from the deep sea. The transfer student was always helping me, the clueless boy who switched from science to the humanities was always coming closer, and the strange girl from the class next door was always picking on me. Then, during a sea-kayaking trip, they pushed me into the waves.
The instant salt water flooded my lungs, a fish's tail pierced my skin, and the dome of an underwater palace blazed to life in my memories. It turned out I was one of the gods of the deep, stranded in the human world after exhausting my divine power to seal the abyss. Now the fissure in the abyss is widening, and my former lover and closest friend have crossed the sea to find me. Beneath the hem of my school uniform, a pearly glow is beginning to shimmer. As trigonometric functions intertwine with the power of the tides, and a classroom bulletin-board contest collides with a crisis beneath the sea, a girl caught between her classroom and the deep must reclaim her lost divinity.
"Zhou Mingyuan? That's a lovely name. Why do you go by Zhou Yiche?"
"Zhou is my name. I came from the deep sea, but someone hoped its waters could be clear enough to see straight through."
