Hayashi's frank, guileless demeanour quietly draws the attention of classmates and strangers as he counts all the stairs in school, photographs street signs, and dries sweet potatoes on the classroom balcony. In a world shaped by conformity, Hayashi is refreshingly and unapologetically true to himself.

Conversely, Nikaidou has worked very hard to perfect a gloomy, dour façade that keeps his classmates far, far away. While much of the school regards Nikaidou as a bad omen, one student catches a glimpse behind the mask and—undeterred by rumours of bad luck and supernatural powers—begins to pick away at Nikaidou's carefully crafted persona.

Captivated, by You by Leighann Harvey, Abigail Blackman, Yama Wayama explores themes of authenticity and the courage to be oneself amidst the pressures of societal norms.
