Sawako doesn't get saved by Kazehaya; she saves herself, and he just happens to be watching. The show doesn't hide that she's lonely and strange, it makes you feel exactly how strange she is, then proves that strange people deserve friends without apology. It's a romance where the girl actually changes because she wants to, not because a boy made her want to, and somehow that makes every small moment between them matter more than the big confession scenes.

Sawako carries an unfortunate burden: she resembles the ghost from The Ring, and her classmates treat her accordingly. They call her Sadako and assume she is as frightening and malicious as the character, when the truth is far simpler. She's timid and sweet, desperate to make friends and live a normal life. Everything shifts when Kazehaya, the cheerful, popular boy in her class whom she has long admired, starts talking to her like a normal person. Suddenly, the impossible feels possible. When he organizes a test of courage for the class and urges her to come, she sees a chance to get along with her classmates, starting with Ayane Yano and Chizuru Yoshida. Maybe she can find real friendships, and maybe even a little romance, though his attention could earn her some enemies too. A funny, tender shoujo romance about a misunderstood girl whose meeting with one boy changes her, and changes him as well.
