The Dating Game

In a world where only the sharpest minds survive, Sora Hayashi stands as an enigma—a brilliant, calculating high school student with a ruthless approach to achieving his goals. Known for his unmatched intellect and cold-hearted tactics, Sora has just entered one of the most prestigious academies, a place notorious for breaking the weak and corrupting the strong.
