Yoshizawa Wakaba’s childhood friend, Umezono Komaki, embodied the concept of “perfection.” She was well-mannered, intelligent, and excelled in athletics. At least, that was the impression she gave on the surface. In reality, Komaki harbored a nasty personality and frequently looked down on others. One day, Wakaba and Komaki engage in a competition where their dignity is at stake. Following a defeat, Wakaba has her first kiss taken from her. In an attempt to reclaim her dignity, Wakaba agrees to a rematch. Winning means regaining her dignity, but losing entails having the things she holds dear gradually stripped away. As Wakaba loses these meaningful first experiences one by one, she begins to realize that “hatred” is not the only thing she feels about Komaki.
