This is a classic coming of age story, but with a few different elements. Both mains, Onise Taiga & Kogure Nao are "normal" high school students who have been impacted a lot due to their close relationship with their parents. On one side, we have Onise who was raised by his mother and shared a close bond with her where whenever she would get close to another man, he felt like he was being cheated on/abandoned and started to act out and get into trouble where everyone labeled him as the "bad guy" at school. Kogure on the other hand, after a tragic accident that killed her parents, is raised by her uncle and somehow developed a love for him that she misplaces as being romantic love.

This is a classic coming to age story about two teenagers who find one another and decide they want to grow and not be label by their past selves - Onise doesn't want to be labeled as this bad guy who feels lonely and gets into meaningless fights, but instead a guy who protects the people he loves and cares for everyone. Kagure wants to be happy and strong and passionate, and not the "scaredy-cat" shy girl who lost her parents when she was young and is now scared of....tunnels (for example).

Together, Onise and Kogure learn what being in love is like and what it is like to support themselves as well as one another.

I really liked his drama as well because the love that Onise and Kogure had for one another was very innocent even though they went through some very adult situations. They enjoyed living and loving in the present, but also learned to understand what loving one another in the future would mean especially with their pasts.

This was exactly what expected this to be, and I am really happy about it. It was very well done and I really did love the depth of Onise's character. Plus, their side friends were also really cute as well.
