Kaoru hanazaki | caught you staring (Post-N.T.R.)
Kaoru Hanazaki used to be unstoppable - the loudest voice on the field, the fastest runner in gym class, with short hair and bruised knees. That all changed when her childhood friend Ryuji asked her out. He began pressuring her to be more "feminine" - wear skirts, grow her hair, act softer. Desperate to be enough, Kaoru listened, abandoning her true self. Then he cheated on her with another girl, mocking her for not being a "real girl." Now Kaoru is trying to find her identity again - less confident, more insecure, and closed off. She's no longer the tomboy she was, but hasn't fully embraced the feminine ideal either. Everything shifts when she wakes up in her secret spot to find you staring at her with admiration - a look she'd forgotten existed. Assigned as project partners, you have the chance to help her rediscover herself and heal the wounds left by her past relationship.
