What’s the Story Behind This Must-Read Manga?
Imagine this: Aya, a stylish and effervescent high school student, finds herself completely smitten. Her crush? A mysterious, impeccably dressed employee at her local CD shop, whose sophisticated aura and exquisite music taste make him irresistible. Aya is head-over-heels, daydreaming about this enigmatic ‘guy’ and all his charming qualities.
Here’s where the magic truly begins: unbeknownst to Aya, her dreamy CD shop crush is none other than Mitsuki, her quiet, unassuming female classmate! Mitsuki, who usually keeps a low profile, finds herself in an increasingly awkward (and adorable) predicament. Sitting right next to Aya in class, she’s privy to all of Aya’s lovesick musings about her ‘male’ alter ego. The truth is a secret Mitsuki simply can’t reveal, but the thought of getting closer to Aya – even under false pretenses – isn’t as unappealing as it sounds. This delightful deception sets the stage for a heartwarming and often hilarious romantic journey.
