Contrast: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Kanata is a handsome young man who can't help but be the center of attention, even when his mind is miles away. Akira is the perfect student who barely talks to anyone. They don't know each other's classes or even their names, but they can't forget each other's faces. One day, these two happen to meet on a stairwell near the rooftop. From then on, that roof becomes their secret rendezvous spot. Slowly they discover that while they might be very different on the outside, they both have feelings for each other. Is this a case of opposites attract, or are the differences too great for them to ever truly connect?
