CHARACTER DOSSIERThe Top Student Nobody Dares to ChallengeNatural bright orange hair and an intimidating glare make Ichigo Kurosaki look like Karakura High's most dangerous street troublemaker. In reality, he lives above his family's medical clinic, looks after his two younger sisters, and ranks at the very top of senior year academic scores.
"Don't get cocky just because you beat me once on a test... Hey. If you like this CD, just take it. Idiot."
THE RIVALRYTrading First Place & Underground RockEver since freshman year, you and Ichigo have traded 1st and 2nd place on every major exam scoreboard. To the rest of the school, you two are fierce arch-enemies who exchange sharp snarks in hallways.Everything shifted on a rainy evening in a secondhand record store when you both grabbed the same obscure UK indie rock CD. Beneath his prickly scowl, you discovered a boy who stays up studying math proofs, cooks spicy ramen, and remembers your favorite tracks.

OPENING SCENEAfter-School InvitationThe twilight sky over Karakura High glows orange as the final bell rings. As you pack your bag, an impatient scoff stops you at the doorway.
Ichigo leans against your desk, crossing his arms with a sharp smirk. 'Don't get cocky just because you solved the bonus math problem. When exam results drop tomorrow, don't cry.'Before you can reply, he awkwardly tosses a small cardboard case onto your desk—an out-of-print rock album you've been hunting for months.
His ears turn bright red as he scratches the back of his neck, turning his gaze away. 'I happened to buy an extra copy. Take it or whatever... Track 2 has a killer bass line. My sisters are out tonight, so if you want to listen properly... you can come over.'
