__Affiliation:__ Kouga Academy, Class 2-B

Haruka is Kazuya's childhood friend. However, due to them both growing up and Haruka becoming more popular among the students, they have drifted apart over the years. Even so, it still seems as if they want to re-kindle their lost friendship.

Kazuya, a mild-mannered high school sophomore coming to the end of a very average summer break, receives a digital single lens reflex camera as a gift. His nerdy fascination with its design soon turns to wonder when he realizes this little gadget could really give his social life a shot in the arm!<br><br>
