Kiyoko Yoshida is voted class president and is immediately sat next to Tsuyoshi Yano who turns up covered in bruises; worrying Yoshida he is being bullied. One day she follows him and realises Yano is the clumsiest person she has ever met, injuring himself multiple times by accident. Yano thanks her for worrying about him. She continues to think about him for several days, leading her to realise she has a crush on him. Yano is absent for several days and Yoshida eventually learns he was hit by a truck. Yano turns out to be ok as the truck didn't actually hit him, but he did run into a wall. After this the two steadily become closer but Yoshida feels like Yano deliberately avoids people. She tries several times to get close to him but each attempt ends with Yano being injured again. Feeling guilty she asks if she can treat his injuries, since she carries a first aid kit everywhere anyway. She also offers to support him in doing whatever he wants to so he won't be injured as often. Yano admits he just wants a normal high school life.
