Nishikata, a mischievous middle school boy, looks at Takagi, the girl sitting next to him in class. He has devised a plan to get back at her for teasing him mercilessly. As he is about to put his plan into action, Takagi stops him with a comment that turns the tables on him again. Their unwritten rule since middle school has been "If you blush, you lose." Nishikata tries daily to make Takagi embarrassed, but his efforts are met only with further ridicule. Will their relationship ever evolve beyond this vicious cycle of trying to outsmart each other?
