Kirigaya Ryugamine is an unassuming high school boy with a hidden gift for drawing, preferring to pour his emotions into his art rather than expose himself to judgment. His quiet life begins to change when he meets Kiryuin Shiina, a confident and composed girl who seems to have it all-but harbors a distance that no one can bridge. Through a chance meeting at the riverside and shared work at a part-time library job, the two form an unlikely bond, one that grows into something deeper, though neither dares to say it aloud.
