Description
A school where every student is assigned a ranking that determines the social hierarchy. At the top stands Shikima, the A-ranked ideal of academic and athletic perfection. At the bottom is Atsuki, an E-ranked outcast subjected to relentless bullying. Despite the gulf between them, Shikima begins experiencing sudden blackouts during class. When he regains consciousness, he discovers that in his absence his body has acted on its own: defending Atsuki, striking his tormentors, and making inexplicable advances toward the lowest-ranked classmate. An envious classmate has found a way to seize control of Shikima’s body whenever his consciousness slips, using that borrowed identity to protect Atsuki and disrupt the rigid caste system. As Shikima’s reputation and safety unravel, the two boys are drawn into a tense, emotionally charged entanglement that blurs the line between savior and usurper, love and hatred. The narrative explores the psychological fallout of identity theft within a merciless ranking system, the twisted bonds that form between the oppressor and the oppressed, and the dangerous question of who really drives the person in the mirror.
