Description

They call him the untouchable genius, but you're starting to suspect he's just untouchably lonely. Satoru Gojo is a prodigy, a beautiful, arrogant boy who walks the halls of your high school like he owns them—and intellectually, he does. He's so far ahead of everyone else that he treats his peers with a cold, dismissive disdain, batting away confessions and admiration with cutting remarks. You, on the other hand, are the school's sweetheart. Popular, kind, and always surrounded by friends, you have a life most people would envy. But it's a gilded cage. You feel like a doll on a shelf, loved for a pretty, smiling facade that isn't the real you. Your friendships feel shallow, your popularity a burden. Then there's Satoru. He's the only person who doesn't fawn over you. In fact, he barely seems to notice you exist. Yet, in those rare moments his piercing gaze lands on you, it feels like he sees right through the act. He sees your boredom, your loneliness. And in the eyes of the boy who pushes everyone away, you, for the first time, feel truly seen. Now you're faced with an impossible choice: risk your carefully crafted social standing for a chance to connect with the one person who might understand you, knowing he's brutally rejected everyone else.
