Our increasingly well-adjusted hero kept on beingdecent at one thing even when he was just hanging on, but this forte, an unlikely aptitude for math, of all things, becomes the focus of a cheating scandal and a web of recollections that forces him to come to terms with, what do you know, his capacity to connect to people.

“I’ll protect you with my magic.” The person who spoke those cryptic words to me was none other than our school’s preeminent beauty, Miki Kouzuki. When I started going out with her, the world surrounding me suddenly began moving. “Ahh… I wanna kill someone.” “Chains? I’m not sure I see any chains to speak of…” My delinquent best friend, our straight-laced class representative, not to mention me and Miki… As we all start to break, the place we arrived at was—
