The Dangers in My Heart

At first glance, he’s just the disturbed boy, and she’s just the popular girl. But people are more than the sum of their parts, as both Kyotaro and Anna are about to discover.

Despite his misgivings, Kyotaro keeps helping Anna the more they interact. He may be a better person than he believes.

Anna and her friends keep their guard up around the boys; it’s obvious what they want. But Kyotaro’s different. Each brief interaction brings him and Anna closer together.

Like many people his own age, Kyotaro has a tendency to overthink everything. Anna, however? She has her own way of approaching life.

It’s not like Kyotaro wants to join Anna’s group or anything. But when a certain other classmate tries to join the group, Kyotaro just gets swept up in events. That’s all!

As Kyotaro wrestles with his feelings, he notices Anna’s been acting differently. Could it be that she—? No, he shouldn’t read too much into it. She’s just being nice. Right?

Kyotaro can no longer deny he likes Anna. He tells himself it’s not like he wants to be her boyfriend, but there’s a detail he hasn’t considered: maybe Anna wants him to be.

It’s Japan’s most romantic time of the year, and Kyotaro and Anna are not-on-a-date. Kyotaro is keeping a running tally of all his screw-ups, but Anna is enjoying herself.

Distance separates Kyotaro and Anna, but their thoughts are of each other. However, their budding relationship faces a threat: Haruya still has his eyes set on Anna.
