It was originally serialized in Kodansha's Bessatsu Friend magazine from January to September 2021, before resuming serialization in the same magazine in June 2022.

Hiro Momose, a student with a difficult history with delinquents, has just enrolled at her new high school. She is happy to be here as the school does not have an issue with delinquency. Due to a school requirement needing students to be a member of a club, she ends up joining the Support Club, which currently has only one other member: her classmate Dan Ichikura. After Ichikura saves her from being harassed by a delinquent, she finds out that Ichikura is a former delinquent. She agrees to keep his past a secret, while the two become closer to each other.
Characters
- Hiro Momose (百瀬 尋, Momose Hiro)
- A first-year high school student. She has bleached hair, in contrast to her appearance in junior high school where she had black hair and wore glasses. She previously went to a school full of delinquents and was frequently bullied by then. Due to her clumsiness at the time, she was kicked out of her clubs, making her reluctant to join a new club in high school at first.
- Dan Ichikura (壱倉 煖, Ichikura Dan)
- Momose's classmate, who wears glasses. He is now a serious student who is admired by others for being hardworking. He was previously a delinquent and looks back at his past life with regret. Prior to Momose joining, he was the only remaining member of the Support Club, with the club in danger in disbanding due to other members leaving the club or being inactive.
