Fifteen-year-old Kusahara Nayuki is a first-year high school student who appears to be the epitome of a diligent and exemplary model student. Excelling effortlessly in both academics and athletics, she maintains top-tier grades that earn her universal praise and admiration. However, this facade of perfection is actually driven by a deep-seated craving for validation and the constant need to be praised by those around her. Her carefully constructed world is abruptly upended during the school year results. When the definitive rankings for the model student metric are tallied, Nayuki discovers that the coveted first-place position has been snatched away from her. To her absolute shock, the person who claimed the top spot is none other than a notorious peer known as the Hero of Darkness.
