Motoharu Yano


Nanami Takahashi welcomes the start of her high school life with great expectations of making as many friends as possible. There is much talk among the girls about a popular boy, Motoharu Yano, who has 2/3 of the girls in his middle school liking him. When Nanami asks Yuri Yamamoto, the girl sitting next to her, about Yano, the latter curtly replies that she dislikes him. Nanami is clueless of who Yano is until the day of the class nomination when she made a fool of herself by calling the name of her new friend wrongly. It turns out that she has actually met Yano along the corridors (unaware of his true identity) and he tricked her by providing a random name, resulting in the embarrassing incident in class. Nanami was initially mad at Yano but after a few encounters with him, she begins to find herself liking him.
Nanami Takahashi begins her second day at her new high school, making two new friends in her class, like the shy Yuri.
On a class trip, Yuri gets sick while Nanami and Yano have a conversation about his past.
It is summer vacation and Nanami goes to school for the play rehearsals, but she's pretty annoyed that Motoharu doesn't turn up to any of them.
The Cultural Festival draws near and all the students are hard at work preparing for the event.
Following Motoharu's confession during the Cultural Festival, Nanami seems pretty out of it as she couldn't sleep at all last night.
Nanami is thinking about the things she's enjoyed with Motoharu but "crossing the line" is the one thing she still cannot do.
Motoharu asks Nanami out on a date but she blows him of to secretly buy him a present, but it isn't much of a secret because he follows her.
In her room, Nanami uses this opportunity to ask Motoharu about his past Yuri and it takes some time for him to give her answer.
All alone with Motoharu at his house, Nanami actually suggest that they finally "do it."
Without thinking Nanami steals an old picture of Motoharu together with Nana, from Yuri's knocked over bag and she's doesn't know what to do about it.
Nanami and Motoharu's study session in interrupted when, out of the blue, Yuri turns up on Motoharu's doorstep, with something to tell him about her sister.
In an unconventional way, Motoharu finally confesses to Nanami, the sin he committed to Yuri.
The relationship between Nanami and Motoharu has ended and a week has passed without even as much as a word between them.
With things going nowhere between Motoharu and Nanami, Takeuchi is unable to hold back his feelings and decides to take the initiative.
Preparations for the annual Cultural Festival are progressing smoothly but what hasn't progressed is Nanami's relationship with either Motoharu or Takeuchi.
It is the night of the school festival and everyone is anxiously waiting for the main event.
It's a normal school day, following the school festival and Nanami decides to get back together with Motoharu but under the condition that he tells her all about his first love, Nana.
After some thinking Motoharu decides to tell Nanami all about Nana, so he invites her out.
Nanami is finally able to accept Motoharu and they get back together and as if nothing happened they return to their normal school lives.
It is another day of school but that quickly comes and goes when Takeuchi is forced to go along on a double date with his classmate.
