Ichikoe, Nifuri, Tachiaoi

Kataoka Aoi has spent her entire life navigating the complications of an exceptionally striking appearance. As a cram school teacher, she deliberately maintains a low profile, hoping to avoid the unwanted drama that her beauty has attracted since childhood. However, her carefully guarded anonymity is shattered when the school principal persuades her—albeit reluctantly—to appear in a promotional commercial for the institution. The advertisement unexpectedly goes viral, catapulting Aoi into sudden fame. Overnight, she finds herself recognized not only within the halls of the cram school but also out in public, drawing stares and attention wherever she goes. The quiet, inconspicuous existence she worked so hard to preserve dissolves entirely as she struggles to cope with her newfound visibility. Amid this overwhelming wave of public scrutiny, an unexpected encounter shifts the trajectory of her daily life. Yamada, an eccentric young woman who works as a clerk at the school's stationery shop, approaches Aoi. This peculiar interaction introduces a new dynamic into Aoi's world just as she attempts to navigate the chaos of being thrust into the spotlight against her will.
