About this title

Synopsis

Being the eldest child of a large family, Yuki Machida was forced to become the responsible one of her many siblings at a very young age. Accustomed to making sacrifices for them, she is all too familiar with disappointment and the pain of suppressing her true feelings. Though expecting nothing to become of them, Machida becomes the basketball club manager in order to be closer to her crush. But at the start of the new school year, Shou Naruse joins the team. He is extremely talented... and has taken an interest in Machida. Stoic-faced and cold, she is unfazed by his advances, despite how relentless he is when it comes to winning her love—from kissing her with no warning to asking for permission to grope her. Keeping her cool and focusing on basketball becomes a much more difficult task when Naruse makes no effort to conceal his desires. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Birthday: September 12 Age: 17-21 Zodiac: virgo Height: 160 cm Blood type: A Occupation: Student; Manager Team: Ryuhoku Basketball Team Favorite color: pink Least favorites: bitter coffee, scary stories Ideal type: serious and sincere gentlemen with a nice smile Lover: Naruse Shou Yuki Machida is the protagonist, aged 17 (at the beginning of the story). She has 3 triplet brothers a year younger than her, as well as 2 twin sisters. Because of her situation as an older sister, she convinced herself at a young age that it was her duty to act maturely and ensure that she prioritized their happiness, even at the expense of her own feelings. Thus, she is extremely serious, hardworking and stern, and displays a very stoic facade. She became the manager of the Ryuhoku's basketball club to support Kido, the team captain, whom she admires and had a secret crush on. She ends up, unintentionally, catching the attention of Shou Naruse, and falling in love with him, against her hopes, even if she refuses to admit it to herself at the beginning of the story. Shou's immaturity and persistence, as well as her love for him, cause her to have occasional emotional outbursts, bringing down her stoic facade, and allowing her true feelings to surface.
