Synopsis

Due to a traumatic event from the past, high school sophomore beauty RIO cannot trust others but money. People around her are just the things of disposal – they are there for her benefits. One day, however, she meets a lone university instructor KOUKI, and instantly falls deep in love for the first time in her life. Mitsuki, who has built up his solitude for the whole life, starts to get attracted to her despite their age difference. But he had another reason not to accept her love…

Introduction

The original tear-jerking novel “TENSHI NO KOI” was the most popular mobile novel in 2008, leading to book publication, comic serialization and spin-offs in a stream. The romance is played by Nozomi Sasaki, a charismatic model well known for her appearance on magazines and TV commercials, along with Shosuke Tanihara, known for his comical performance in “Handsome Suits” (2008), now playing a heartrending role who tries to look away from happiness.
