Where Spring Stirs Beneath Still Waters

At a school where excellence is everything, a quiet genius and a seemingly emotionless top student find warmth—not in words, but in every shared glance, chess move, and chocolate parfait.



Mizuki Fuyune is perfect. Impossibly distant, flawlessly composed—a girl like winter, all still water and untouched snow. No one gets close. No one ever stays.

A shared glance in the library.

A Shogi match neither planned to win.



And slowly, something begins to thaw.



In a world that praises noise, two silent hearts start to hear each other.
