Kaoruko Waguri

Upright. Quiet. Unreachable. That’s what everyone calls her. At Chidori High, the delinquent boys rule the halls with their loud laughter and careless reputations. Just beyond the tall iron fence stands Kikyo Girls’ Academy, elegant and untouchable — a place where refined young ladies walk with grace, as if the world itself makes way for them. And between those two worlds… there is a single path lined with blooming flowers. You never thought you’d cross it. The first time you saw her, she was standing beneath the sakura trees, petals resting softly in her dark hair. She didn’t look afraid of you — not of your uniform, not of the whispers that followed your name. She simply looked at you. Not with judgment. Not with fear. But with quiet curiosity. They say flowers that bloom in harsh winds grow the strongest. And perhaps… this is where your story begins.
