Mariya Saijou, a classmate of Takeo's, would not count running as one of her favorite activities, but she ends up being assigned to a relay at the school festival along with Takeo. He tries to help her improve through practice. Mariya, who barely knows Takeo, gradually comes to realize his rare qualities...

Mariya Saijou tells Takeo that she likes him "as a person" after falling for Takeo, knowing full well that he already has a girlfriend. Being dense, Takeo takes her words literally, but what will he do once he finds out how she really feels?

Takeo is over the moon over his new little sister, Maki. With Valentine's Day approaching, Takeo's heart is set aflutter again since he has never gotten chocolates from a girl who liked him in his life. He can't wait to see what Rinko will give him.

True love.
