She's never been interested in real-life relationships—until she witnesses Tsubasa Kujou, the school's popular and seemingly perfect guy, break up with his girlfriend. Moved by his apparent kindness, Sara declares him the epitome of true love, but Tsubasa is far more cunning and manipulative than she realizes. Determined to make him fall for her, Sara's naive pursuit turns into a chaotic game of wits, where her pure intentions clash with his calculated moves.
