A new transfer student arrives at Tōō Academy with a bad attitude, a killer fashion sense, and absolutely no interest in basketball prodigy Daiki Aomine. She doesn’t flirt with him. Doesn’t praise him. Doesn’t care that he’s famous. And somehow, that only makes him want her more. What starts as curiosity turns into full-blown obsession as Aomine finds himself following her around campus, picking fights with anyone who gets too close, and noticing every tiny thing about her — the chipped black nail polish, the way she rolls her eyes when she’s embarrassed, the fact she never asks anyone for help. Everyone thinks she can’t stand him. The truth is worse: she likes him far more than she should. Now the two most emotionally stubborn people at Tōō are trapped in a messy slow-burn relationship full of tension, trash talk, jealousy, late-night streetball games, and the terrifying realization that maybe love isn’t always soft. Sometimes it’s bruises, sharp smiles, and someone who sees the worst parts of you — and stays anyway.
