A 14-year-old boy - Igarashi Kaze - who had suffered from harsh bullying all his life, had been looking forward to high school. He saw it as a shining ray of hope, a way to escape from his past - a form of salvation.


    For years, he endured. For years, he suffered.


    All so that one day, he could break free from the chains of his past. That day was today - the day he would enter high school.


    Or at least, it was supposed to be.


    By a wicked twist of fate, his middle school schoolmates all happened to enroll in the exact same high school as him. He had tried to escape - to desperately free himself from their claws. But alas, he could not defeat the omnipotent entity known as fate.


    The bullying continued. It was just a repeat of middle school all over again. And so, the boy thought.


    He thought...if he couldn''t escape from his old schoolmates...why not escape from this world altogether?


    But when realities collide and he is forced to make a decision that will change him forever, will our protagonist be able to retain his emotions - his humanity?
