Yasashii Akuma

Tohko and Wataru were close friends in childhood, with Tohko often defending the timid Wataru from bullies. After Wataru's family relocated to Germany, the two lost contact. Years later, he returns to Japan as a high school freshman while Tohko is in her second year. Wataru has changed significantly—taller and more assertive than before. He frequently takes charge of Tohko, even making her prepare lunch for him daily. Struggling to adapt to his new, demanding behavior, Tohko finds herself confused by the shift from the gentle boy she once knew to this more dominant version of him.
