After an accident left her unable to play the piano, Rio felt as if her life had been stolen from her. She had become numb to happiness, like a fish wrapped in slime, unable to breathe.
At her parents' insistence, she came to Seigaku, a school renowned for its sports programs. But comparing herself to her classmates only made her feel more like a dull little bug, living in the dark. She could only stay in her own world, losing herself in novel after novel and weaving a black-and-white corner of dreams.
Then Fuji Shusuke found her book and appeared before her. He told her he could understand what "bugs" said, and that her gloomy, lowbrow thoughts were perfectly "normal."
He understood all of it.
Rio had secretly laughed at the absurdity of it: the tennis prodigy from Seigaku, the famous boy with countless fans at school, telling her, "I think you're cute."
---"I want to capture every incredible moment of you through my lens."
---"Rio is a good girl."
She always felt there was something hidden beneath his gentle smile.
In the end, she never did figure out what Fuji meant by all those smiling, teasing remarks.
He liked ruffling her hair and slipping her sweets, waking her every morning, walking home with her in the afternoon, helping her with her studies, exercising with her, and telling her, "Rio, you should just do what you want."
Even his teasing came with a strange kind of care.
Rio couldn't hide how much she admired and envied this outstanding upperclassman. She couldn't help feeling inferior, yet she also couldn't stop herself from drawing closer to him.
If Rio had once been a pitiful young sprout suffocated inside foil, now Fuji Shusuke's gentleness, scented with morning sunshine and fresh dew, could make this slow-witted girl shed tears for the first time in ages.
She began to wonder: Was there anything she could do for him?
Someone saved by kindness wants to give something back to that kindness, too.

Core theme: The problem lies in how you think, not in how you live.
Ah - the chemistry between them - it kills me -
This article is really well written! It can basically be said to be Fuji Shusuke's best-reading book in recent years. I still hope to continue reading more and keep reading.
Oh, Fuji and the heroine are really suitable for playing some DS games.
