Rowan Kenjiro is pretty sure college isn't all what it's cracked up to be. No friends on campus, nothing exciting about his classes, and nothing to break up the monotony of his day-to-day life. He's almost positive there's nothing in the world worth getting worked up over—and then Hikaru Akinori shakes up the world as he knows it for good. Hikaru Akinori is pretty sure he'd rather jump off a bridge than spend one more lonely week treading water in the same tedious place that makes him feel so isolated and bores him to tears. He wasn't expecting anything exciting to come of his sophomore-year literature class—and then Rowan Kenjiro steps into his world and makes him realize there's more to life than he ever thought possible.
