Naoto and Taichi’s turbulent high school love crashed and burned, but a reunion in college puts love back in the air.

Naoto and Taichi’s first try at love during their high school days crashed and burned. Years later the two unexpectedly reunite on their first day of college. Tumultuous love often burns hot, and the glowing embers of their previous relationship reignite into a second try at love.

It’s Naoto’s first day of college, and the last person he expected to see was his high school ex Taichi, who he’d dumped after a huge argument. Although years have passed, Naoto finds he’s still steamed over some of the harsh words that were exchanged. Even so, he can’t help but recognize how much Taichi has matured since then, and soon old feelings begin to stir. Will the discovery of his friend’s crush on Taichi further fray the threads of this tattered but mending relationship—or strengthen the ties that bind?
