May I be in love with you?
キミに恋していーですか。
Chigira Ruiji is a man born with a face that makes him look like a demon. Trouble follows him wherever he goes, but what he wants is simple: a normal high school life, a few friends, and maybe love.
His appearance frightens everyone. Even the toughest people recoil, and his classmates either run away or assume he is trying to start a fight. Teachers have marked him as a delinquent, though all he did was smile. Accustomed to isolation, Ruiji eats alone, studies alone, and spends his days alone. He begins high school resigned to another year without company.
Then, out of nowhere, a classmate offers him a small act of kindness. She runs away screaming moments later, but for Ruiji, that brief moment means everything. He decides to repay her by making her school life as good as he can. Yet his heart races whenever he sees her, and he begins to wonder what these feelings mean.
