Synopsis – A Star Brighter Than the Sun

Sae and Koki, childhood friends with opposing personalities and backgrounds, see their dynamic turned upside down over the years. Sae, who has always been tall and strong, has often taken the frail and shy Koki under her wing. But when he enters high school, the roles seem to be reversed: Koki is now tall, charismatic, and incredibly popular.

As Sae begins to see her old friend in a new light and have feelings for him, she discovers that she is not alone. The question now is: to whom will Koki's heart turn?

A sweet teenage romance about love, friendship, and self-discovery.
