There's always just one surefire way to win in a romantic comedy—simply saying "I like you!" The girls who have feelings for high school boy Izumi spent their days unable to take that first step forward.

[The School Idol Who Only Wants to Be Pampered When It's Just the Two of Them] Amane Amasaki.
[Even Though I Was Disowned, My Former Fiancé Just Won't Leave Me Alone!] Hakua Shiragiku.
[The Angel of the Academy... But the Devil Next to Her Is Surprisingly Easy] Haru Kasuga.

However, transferring into their class is Nanao Nanase, a seemingly ordinary girl who is actually a natural-born main heroine! Nano starts her fierce assault on Izumi with her shameless and straightforward approach.

"Izumi-kun, I like you. Please go out with me."
"Here, say 'ahh'~♪"
"Izumi-kun, you're the one who made me into this kind of girl, you know?"

In a panic, Amane and the others can't help but spring into action—"This girl... She actually did it!?"
