Harisugawa in Mirror World

""Boys are creatures whose sight will follow the girl they like wherever she is. And if there it comes the chance that the boy realizes that the girl is in danger, if he is able to save her they will feel the ultimate bliss in life" is something that Harisugawa Tetsu has pointed out, and true enough he has always been following with his eyes the girl named Satomi Mao." Opening Narration"

Thanks to certain circumstances in their childhood, a girl named Mao Satomi has always been friendlier with Tetsu Harisugawa than any other guy. Little does she know that ever since he was young Tetsu Harisugawa had had a crush on her.

Tetsu chooses to keep playing the friend part, keeping his feelings hidden for the sake of not endangering the closeness that they already have. Tetsu believes that if he can build a good relationship with Mao little by little he will get to the point where he can confidently confess to Mao and not get rejected.

At first it seems that this "stalemate" will never be broken; however, one day Mao sees a strange mirror in a thrift store and for some reason she feels that she must have that mirror. Mao buys the mirror on impulse, completely unaware that the mirror will bring great changes to her life-- as well as Harisugawa's.
