For Natsumi, this isn't just news; it is a total disaster. She falls into a state of absolute despair because the person she admired the most is no longer in the entertainment world.
However, fate has a very big surprise waiting for her. One fine day, Haruto Aoyama shows up at her school as a transfer student! Imagine the shock of seeing your "oshi" sitting in the same classroom as you. But it gets even better. Right after the first greeting at the new school, Haruto walks straight to Natsumi’s table and makes a shocking confession. He says, "I've loved you for a long time." Just like that, Natsumi's life transforms from a nightmare into a total dream-like situation where she gets to spend her daily school life with her beloved idol.
