LOVE WITHOUT LOVE
In a Tokyo college, 19-year-old Haruki Takashi, an introverted and lonely boy, is battling the emptiness of his life. He has two close friends in college—Fujimaru and Hiroshi—but Haruki never considers them true friends. Even in a crowd, he feels isolated and like an outsider but he is more insider then anyone.
"He doesn’t believe in hope. He doesn’t trust connection. And he’s too smart to lie to himself."
Haruki Takashi is not your typical genius.
He doesn’t chase top ranks for fame. He solves elite-level problems to silence the chaos in his head.
He doesn’t stay quiet to act mysterious. His voice fails him when emotions try to come out.
He doesn’t hate people. He just doesn’t see a reason to care.
Scarred by years of emotional suppression, parental coldness, and a world that taught him silence was safer than speaking, Haruki lives inside his mind — where equations are clean, and people can’t hurt you.
But that changes when a group project forces him to team up with Miyu, a bright, stubborn girl who smiles like she’s healing — not because she’s whole, but because she chose to be. Alongside friends like Hiroshi, who refuses to let Haruki rot in silence, and Rin, who might be prettier than her heart lets on, Haruki begins to face the one thing he’s always avoided:
Connection.
“Love is a slow poison,” he tells himself.
But what if this time, he drinks it willingly… while cursing every sip?
This isn’t a story about saving someone.
It’s about people who were never whole, trying to survive each other.
Its about a person who does not believe in love because world Idealized the love too much but also crave for it too see how the real love is....
