At his new school, he meets several new girls, though three of whom he gets to know the most out of anyone else. They are Kohinata Hayami, a girl dislike by all her class, who pushes Takuma's attempts at friendship away, the excessively obliging Kagura Hinata, who seems to have a hidden agenda, and the cheerful and mysterious Otoha, who wears a school uniform, but never seems to attend.
