A new semester begins for high school junior Kuroki, and he finds himself seated next to the girl everyone whispers about: Mai Chihara. With her gothic fashion, jet-black hair, and intense stare, Chihara is rumored to be a "landmine" girl or jirai-kei, the hyper-feminine, dark aesthetic often linked to yandere tendencies and unstable personalities. However, when Kuroki accidentally catches Chihara's attention, he discovers she isn't nearly as volatile as people claim. Beneath the intimidating aura is a surprisingly sweet girl... if a little odd. Reluctantly, Kuroki starts to learn more about Chihara and her strange quirks. Is there more to her than her dangerous reputation suggests? Or is all the dark clothing just a red flag in disguise?
