Unbeknownst to him, an invisible swarm of tracking technologies surveil Rodin’s online interactions throughout his day. At the end of each day, he posts a picture of his homework to his teacher’s social media page.
Later in the afternoon, Rodin opens up a website to watch the nationally televised math class for that day. He watches his best friend draw a cat he thinks his friend is much better at drawing than he is. He hopes that no one can tell that he’s a little sleepy, or that he’s behind on his homework.ĭuring breaks between classes, Rodin reads chat messages from his classmates and idly doodles on the virtual whiteboard that his teacher leaves open. By 9 a.m., he logs into class and waves hello to his teacher and to his classmates. He eats a bowl of chocolate cereal for breakfast his mother reminds him, as she always does, to brush his teeth afterwards. ~~ Adapted from the novel awarded the first prize at "The First Junon Love Novel Grand Prix".On school days, 9-year-old Rodin wakes up every morning at 8 a.m.
Both boys swear a mutual rivalry that starts a complicated love triangle. Jun tells what happened to his best friend, Kato Shoichi, who takes an overprotective attitude towards him and another defensive towards Murai, since he is also in love with Jun. Jun and Murai start to spend time together, and Murai soon confesses his love for Jun and kisses him, a fact that leaves the latter confused. Shortly after, Murai Naoki, his replacement in the swimming team, asks Jun to be his coach since he admires him a lot. After being diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Jun is forced to quit swimming and loses all reason to exist. Jun also must deal with constant rumours that his father got his late mother pregnant-who was one of his students-and never married her, another reason why he is so nicknamed. Shibahara Jun is a high school student with high expectations for swimming, but as the team coach's son he is nicknamed 'Taiikukan Baby' (Gymnasium Baby) and no one believes his position is due to his own merits.
