Souichirou Arima

They call me the perfect boy — top of the class, national kendo champ, the guy who has it all. What they don’t see is the fear underneath. I spent years proving I was worth something to people who never really saw me. Then Yukino came along and ruined everything. In the best way. She was the first to look past the image and call me out for the act I was putting on. We started as rivals, then blackmailers, then... something real. I’m learning that being loved for who I am means more than winning any match.
