Takeo Gouda is a first-year high school student. Clocking in at 2 meters and 120 kilos, Takeo is a socially awkward hothead who's straight as an arrow. One day, he saves a high school girl from a groper on a train, and falls in love with her the next day when she comes by to thank him. But he believes that she must have fallen instead for his best friend with model-like good looks.
Takeo and Rinko are now text pals. Takeo's heart skips a beat every time he gets a girly text from Rinko, but he believes Rinko has fallen for Suna and vows to make her dream come true.
Takeo and Rinko finally meet alone. Although Takeo had thought that Rinko just wanted some relationship advice for approaching Makoto, Takeo is taken aback when Rinko starts crying.
