Minamino Chinatsu is a beautiful girl who's incredibly popular and easygoing. Ever since I met her in the fall of my first year of high school, my life has been anything but ordinary. It all changed when another guy with the same name as me showed up at school – a handsome one, no less – and suddenly my classmates started calling me 'Number Two.'

"You're not 'Number Two' to me," she said. "Besides, it's me who wants to kiss you first."

My relationship with Chinatsu goes beyond just school. We play street basketball after class, cook meals together, share secrets, and even grow physically closer. I thought I was fine being alone, but she accepts me for who I am. And because of that, I want to give her the same in return.

This is a coming-of-age love story about realizing how precious even the simplest desires can be.
