Kuse Ou, a newly arrived second-year transfer student at Aoba Johsai High, is nicknamed the "Snow Sprite."
He has a beautiful face, a cool and slow-to-warm-up personality, and knows absolutely nothing about volleyball.
On his very first day of school, however, he catches the eye of Oikawa Toru, the volleyball club's dazzling star, who has an exceedingly high opinion of himself.
The reason is simple: Oikawa-sama's beauty-loving side has flared up, and he thinks the new student is just sooooo easy on the eyes!
So he waves his hand and lures Kuse Ou, who knows nothing about volleyball, into the volleyball club as a "pretty-face" manager.
Kuse Ou: Fine, at least it'll be peaceful.
Peaceful, my foot!
Kuse Ou discovers that whenever the flamboyant senior gets a naughty little thought about him, time resets five minutes later!
And unless Kuse Ou acts out what Oikawa Toru imagines, the loop goes on forever!
So the volleyball club members see this:
Kuse Ou, wearing a face of aloof elegance, grabs Oikawa Toru by the collar in front of everyone and quickly brushes a kiss against the corner of his mouth.
All to fulfill some shameless jerk's ridiculous fantasy of "wanting a little kiss."
Oikawa Toru: ???!!!
Eyes wide with shock! Heart racing! His brain's CPU has overheated!
First comes shock, then delight, and finally certainty.
"Aaaah! Ou really does like me sooo much!"
Just look at that direct approach! That initiative! That shy (???) physical contact! The evidence is undeniable!
Self-delusion progress bar: 1000%!
Kuse Ou (quickly stepping away after completing his KPI, completely unfazed and even wanting to make a run for it): Hah, why are you blushing like a teapot? What's the next task in this loop? Hurry up.
Until the final loop ends.
Time no longer resets.
Kuse Ou lets out a long sigh of relief: Finally! I'm free!
But the next second, a burning-hot hand grabs his wrist.
Oikawa Toru has just finished training. His damp bangs are tousled, but his eyes are astonishingly bright, and he can't hide the smug, affectionate smile on his lips.
He leans toward the little manager, who has finally "dropped his disguise," and whispers by his ear, his warm breath brushing against him.
"Ou~ You must have worked so hard keeping up the act for so long."
"You should've told me you had a crush on me. Oikawa-sama would've said yes~"
Kuse Ou: ...???
No, wait! What the heck have you been imagining?!
And who said you could hug me! The loop is over!
