Starting fresh at West High is anything but easy for Gono. Adopted by distant, wealthy parents after years in an orphanage, he feels more out of place than ever. On his first day, the grand halls of the school feel like a maze, and the students seem as overwhelming as the new life he’s trying to navigate. But things take an unexpected turn when he meets Gojyo, a mischievous redhead with a knack for getting into trouble, and Koryu, a sharp-tongued loner with a mysterious past. Together, the three outsiders form an unlikely bond, finding strength in their differences and learning what it means to belong. In this heartwarming and humorous story, Gono discovers that sometimes, the family you choose can mean more than the one you’re born into. Perfect for readers who love stories about friendship, resilience, and finding your place in the world.
