Yoshioka Futaba (Deguchi Natsuki) was once a middle school student who fell for her warm-hearted classmate Tanaka Kou (Sakurai Kaito). But young love proved to be cruel, and the duo was separated due to circumstances beyond their control – with Kou moving to Nagasaki. Fate reunited them in high school, however. As her school days are about to draw to an end, Kou transferred to her class. But the Kou she once knew changed – adopting an unfamiliar surname and an unexpectedly cold and aloof personality.

Now, with the end of their academic year in sight, Yoshioka Futaba and Kou begin to draw closer to one another again. But things get complicated when she learns that a classmate (originally from Nagasaki) also had her heart broken by Kou during her middle school days. Is a love triangle in the cards for them, or could other classmates confuse the situation yet further? And will Yoshioka Futaba and Kou’s reunion lead them to love...or fresh heartache?

This drama is based on “AO HARU RIDE,” a popular manga series written and illustrated by Io Sakisaka.
