Overview
Growing up, sisters Misaki and Hazuki couldn't have been more different. Misaki's charming personality and popularity stood in sharp contrast to the older, more responsible yet timid Hazuki. After high school, the two lose touch once Misaki leaves their home, only to be reunited many years later, when Misaki returns, harboring a secret.
