Akari Yo, a curious and energetic high school girl, is always chasing her interests with unbridled enthusiasm. When she crosses paths with Ryu Kashiwaba, a reserved and aloof classmate known as the "interest-less prince," her curiosity is piqued. Despite warnings to stay away, Akari can't help but be drawn to him, and Ryu, intrigued by her vibrant spirit, challenges her to teach him what it means to "like" something. As their unlikely connection grows, both begin to discover new sides of themselves and the sweetness of shared moments.

Hitsuji Matsumoto, known as "Kigurumi-chan" for her mascot-like charm, is beloved by everyone at school—but she's frustrated that her popularity is more for her quirky persona than for being seen as a girl. When she realizes she's not treated as a romantic interest, the sharp-tongued student council president, Fujiwara-kun, delivers some tough advice: if she wants to be seen differently, she needs to act the part. Under Fujiwara's strict guidance, Hitsuji embarks on a mission to shed her "character" image and become someone boys might fall for. But as their dynamic unfolds, unexpected feelings and rivalries emerge.

Kii, an ordinary high school girl with a love for hedgehogs, can't help but notice Hazuki, a boy rumored to enjoy fighting and shunning others. But when Kii accidentally uncovers the truth behind Hazuki's misunderstood actions, she sees a different side to him—one that's kind, just, and surprisingly hedgehog-like in his prickly yet endearing nature. As the two grow closer, Kii finds herself drawn to Hazuki's hidden warmth, while he struggles to navigate his own guarded heart.

When Umi, a girl from a small island, moves to Tokyo to care for her hospitalized grandmother, she takes on a live-in housekeeping job to make ends meet. To her shock, the house belongs to RISE, the wildly popular idol group she’s long admired. Living under the same roof as her idols—Hinata, the guarded yet charming "prince"; Etsuki, the flirtatious and mischievous heartthrob; and Fuuma, the gentle and grounding presence—Umi finds herself caught in a whirlwind of emotions and unexpected challenges. As she navigates the chaos of city life and the quirks of her new housemates, Umi begins to see beyond their celebrity personas, uncovering the real people behind the fame.
