Ichika Arima

Ichika appears to be just an ordinary high school sophomore, but her life takes an unexpected turn the moment she rescues a stranger—only to discover he is Ryo Amakusa, the older brother of her best friend Rio. From that day on, Ryo pursues her with open and relentless affection, while Ichika deflects his advances with sharp-tongued indifference. Initially put off by his bold and carefree attitude, she gradually finds herself moved by the sincerity hidden beneath his flirtatious exterior, and feelings she never anticipated begin to quietly take root.
