Synopsis

What if you could see the feelings of the person you love?

A slightly special power that is hidden from everyone.
This is a frustrating, funny and sad story woven by each person's "secret".
When you know this "Secret," 100% pure tears will overflow.

Five classmates, each with the unique ability to see the emotions of others, keep this power secret. This is a bittersweet and melancholic tale, woven with the "hidden truths".

Kyo Otsuka (Daiken Okudaira), a high school student who feels inferior to those around him, finds himself drawn to Naoko Mickey (Natsuki Deguchi), the popular girl in his class who wants to be a hero, not a heroine. Kyo is captivated by Mickey's cheerful personality, eccentric remarks, and carefree attitude, and he quietly observes her from a distance. He believes he is unworthy of Mickey's attention and feels content simply being "friends."

However, when Elle (Iko Hayase), the shy girl, suddenly stops coming to school, the emotions of all five students begin to shift, and their once-hidden feelings start to surface.
