Minobe is a first year at a fine arts school (ballet) -he becomes enamored with a 2 nd year student Ichinomiya now doing modern dance. After becoming paired for a dance project the two develop their relationship -friendship then romance. Most of the story is from Minobe's perspective -he has the physique and skill for ballet but doesn't seem to have that je ne sais quoi that draws the eye (think Hyunjin). Inch has the charisma and skill (again Hyunjin) but is not tall enough to be a ballet dancer. Throw in the creey teacher and we see why he is seeminly stand offish. There is a chaper that is told from Ich POV that fits in nicley so we can see where he is coming from and why he acts.reacts the way he does. I get a bit of a Given vibe -the obssession here with dance instead of music.
