Kuzu no Honkai

Hanabi and Mugi look like a happy couple, but each is longing for someone else. They agree to maintain a relationship that offers relief from loneliness while leaving their real affections elsewhere.

The arrangement becomes harder to contain as friends' feelings, teachers' relationships and jealousy pull them in different directions. What begins as a private escape forces both to confront the harm caused by treating another person as a substitute for an unreachable love.
