A Deep Dive into the Plot and Characters
The story follows Runa, a high school girl who is living a very different life as a "child of the fire god." Because she runs the Kagami Medical Acupuncture Clinic with her grandmother, she is often isolated at school. Her life takes a turn when she falls for Kensho Naruse, who is quite popular and actually saves her from bullying. However, as a child of God, she is strictly forbidden from falling in love. This leads her to trick Kensho into joining the "believer business," which is really the heart of the suspense here.
