Kimi to Koete Koi ni Naru follows Mari, a high school student whose ordinary routine changes when she collides with another tardy classmate and discovers that he is beastfolk assigned to attend her school. In a world where beastfolk and humans coexist, that coexistence is still shadowed by prejudice, and Mari’s first reaction is uncertainty: she does not know how to read him, how others will treat him, or what it means to grow close to someone from a group so often viewed through suspicion.
As Mari spends more time with him, however, she begins to see past the furry exterior and into the steady, kindhearted person beneath it. What starts as an awkward encounter slowly becomes a quiet romance built on trust, curiosity, and the small moments that draw two people closer than either expected. Mari finds herself increasingly attracted to his steadfastness and kindheartedness, and even the physical pull she feels toward him becomes part of the uneasy, tender bond they share. Against the backdrop of everyday school life and lingering social tension, Kimi to Koete Koi ni Naru tells a story of affection that grows across a divide that others still struggle to accept.
