"Tatsuya Takigawa" became an overnight sensation—an idol whose popularity soared thanks to the striking contrast between his handsome appearance and timid, insecure demeanor. But behind his rise to fame lies a hidden truth: ──He underwent plastic surgery. Originally, Tatsuya altered his appearance with one goal in mind: to win the affection of his childhood friend, "Rumi Toono". However, after being scouted on a whim while out in the city, he unexpectedly finds himself thrust into the entertainment industry. As he navigates the glittering yet deceptive world of show business, Tatsuya encounters a variety of women, including the up-and-coming idol "Misuzu Kudou". Some are sincere. Others have their own agendas. Unable to see through their true intentions, Tatsuya convinces himself: "It’s only because I look like this that I’m allowed to get away with it." Swept up in fame, desired by those around him, and unaware of the consequences, Tatsuya slowly loses sight of what truly matters. Manipulated, exploited… ──What awaits him at the end of it all?
