A Bond Beyond Blood

Takumi and Chiori Chihara are two siblings that have been close since birth. After a traumatic event, and ensuing circumstances leading to them being socially outcast, they look to one another for support and company, as Takumi takes on the role to keep the family together, cost what it may.

This bizarre dynamic only continues as they grow into adults, Chiori never letting go of acting as spoiled as she was as a child, and Takumi reluctantly going along. However, this only further complicates things as Chiori begins to harbor one-sided feelings for her reliable other brother, and Takumi plans to avoid her, perhaps for good, as he’s unable to deal with the responsibilities arising from this complicated situation.

Yet what he may not realize, is that those feelings could have been mutual all along. Yet whether those around them could accept such a thing or not, is a fear he cannot let go of.

When the truth is laid bare, will they remain able to rely on one another, or will their relation break under pressure?
