Boys' Romance Beginning from Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day. It's a day that would make any middle school boy feel restless, but not all middle school boys feel that way. For boys who don't stand out in class and aren't popular, it's a hateful day that makes them acutely aware of the school caste system. That's what I thought. ～Characters～ Momoji Nagato: A first-year middle school boy who can competently handle anything he's asked to do, but has no particular specialty and lacks presence. He dislikes his timid and self-deprecating nature and attempted a middle school debut, but failed. Raised by toxic parents, he's skilled at reading people's faces, yet he's insensitive to affection directed at him. Kawate Rio: A boy from the same elementary and middle school as Nagato. With his handsome appearance, good athleticism, friendly personality, and beautiful older sister, he's the object of admiration among his male classmates. Influenced by his pastry chef mother, making sweets is his hobby, but due to his appearance, he keeps it a secret from everyone except his best friend out of fear of being mocked for doing something feminine. Shingetsu Corona: An honor student characterized by her red-rimmed glasses, from a different elementary school than Nagato and the others. Poor at sports and ranks slightly behind Rio in class popularity. She attends the same cram school as Rio and has known him since before middle school. She has sharp intuition, has noticed the romantic interest Rio has in Nagato, and is frustrated by Nagato's obliviousness.
