Synopsis
- Koyuki starts the story constantly teased for his effeminate looks by both boys and girls alike, with Natsuki as one of the few exceptions to that rule. He finds himself enamored with her as a result, and vows to try and win her over despite having no real chance, as Natsuki is constantly turning her attention to Yuu. Declaring Yuu his rival, Koyuki finally makes the push to change himself.
- He settles on making himself more presentable by cutting his hair and getting rid of his glasses, to the shock of Souta and most of his classmates. Natsuki does show interest in his new appearance, and Yuu shows wariness of him, but nothing goes further from that.
- Koyuki continues to make efforts in becoming a new person, participating in sports where he would sit out and becoming more confident. However, it's all for naught; he stumbles upon Natsuki confessing to Yuu and, heartbroken, silently congratulates her on winning her crush over, calling her "the girl I used to love".
- He goes home staring into space, but quickly gets himself out of his slump, yelling into the sky.
Trivia
- This song acts as Koyuki's only solo. However he does share a song later on in the series, Kore Seishun Understand , with Kotarou Enomoto.
- In one scene, Koyuki is shown reading the Kokuhaku Yokou Renshuu novel.
- The deities of HoneyWorks' "The Currently Slightly Rumored God" make a cameo appearance cheering Koyuki on.
