Sawako is a very kind, but shy girl who longs to be friends with everyone in her class. However, people misinterpret her kindness as strange behavior. Because of this and her appearance, they have nicknamed her "Sadako" (from "The Ring"). When she becomes friends with her long-time crush Kazehaya, the most popular boy in class, new doors start opening up to her for a chance at a new social life, the one she's always wanted.
