Ouka is a spirited tomboy who thrives on physical confrontations and has never had any success in romance. Rather than conforming to traditional expectations of femininity, she lives her life by a simple, unwavering philosophy: always be yourself. She embraces this mindset completely, refusing to soften her rough edges or pretend to be someone she is not. For Ouka, authenticity matters far more than appearing ladylike, and she navigates her daily life with a fierce independence that leaves little room for romantic entanglements. However, her comfortable routine begins to shift when Mashima, a close friend she has known for years, starts voicing his concerns about her behavior. Instead of accepting her as she is, he persistently pressures her to adopt a more traditionally feminine demeanor. This unexpected criticism from someone she trusts introduces a new layer of tension into their long-standing friendship. As Mashima continues to challenge her identity, Ouka finds herself caught between staying true to the unapologetic person she has always been and navigating the complicated feelings stirred up by his sudden insistence that she change.
