Popular Rei and shy Kira are worlds apart, until one fateful day brings them together. Rei stumbles upon Kira in the harassing hands of her sleazy art teacher and saves the quiet girl from his clutches. And when the jock plants a kiss on a statue of Mars in the studio, Kira finds herself drawn to him and even summons up the nerve to ask him to model for her. But problems already lurk on the horizon. Vicious upperclassman Harumi has had her sights set on Rei for a long time, and is not about to let go now.

Kira
Shy and reserved, Kira is a talented artist who is lost in her own world. Alienated from her surroundings, she finds herself drawn to Rei. Even though their attraction doesn't make sense, she sees compassion in him that no one else can.

Rei
He is strong, resents the world, but family is important to him. He has a dark and shadowy past and a penchant for violence. He is drawn to Kira because she created an image of a mother and child that touched his heart.

Harumi
Harumi likes Rei and is jealous of Kira. She takes Kira to the empty gym and threatens to crush her fingers unless she gives up on Rei.
