Candy Doll

Rika considers herself incredibly fortunate to have won the affection of Ando, the senior she has admired for so long. However, the reality of their relationship quickly falls short of her romantic expectations. Instead of the devoted partnership she envisioned, Ando routinely cancels their plans and skips their dates, leaving Rika isolated and questioning where she truly stands with him. The growing distance between them casts a shadow over what was supposed to be her dream come true. Compounding her unease is a peculiar remark repeatedly made by Kijima, another senior from Ando’s class. He frequently tells Rika that she is "just like a doll," a cryptic observation that begins to haunt her thoughts. She struggles to decipher his meaning, wondering if the comparison stems merely from her name or from something far more unsettling about her behavior. Rika slowly realizes that she constantly molds herself to fit Ando’s exact preferences, acting precisely as he dictates without asserting her own will. As Kijima’s words linger in her mind, she is forced to confront a deeply troubling question: why does Ando care so much about controlling her every move?
