Story
Title on the cover of the first volume of manga:
Two guys met each other. In the prime of his youth. Their love was like a dream, it was like sparkling bubbles of soda.
Original Text (Eng.)A boy met a boy.
They were in the flush of youth.
They were like that,
like a sparkling soda pop.
One of the best students in the school, Rihito Sadjo, did not even open his mouth in the classroom. His classmate Hikaru was interested in this: maybe he doesn't like to sing or is he too good to sing? Returning to class, Hikaru notices Rihito sitting on the desk, who diligently learns the lyrics of the song. Hikaru decides to help his classmate to better understand the notes, and then offers to practice singing together in his spare time, because the festival is not far off. It turned out that Rihito simply did not see the words of the song written on the board because of the insufficient clarity of his glasses. Two classmates are gradually becoming closer to each other, but not at all like friends.

He likes the songs of British rock bands and old j-pop . Hikaru hopes to get a job in the music field. He also works hard on his cooking skills, although he keeps it secret.
